The Philadelphia Flyers and the hockey world at large can breathe a sigh of relief after a scary moment in Wednesday's Game 4.
Forward Scott Laughton was stretchered off the ice in the first period. He'll stay overnight at a local hospital for precautionary reasons, but all tests have come back negative, the team announced following the win over Washington.
Laughton appeared to lose an edge while pursuing the puck with Capitals defenseman John Carlson and crashed hard into the boards. He was said to be conscious and talking while being carried off the ice.
Both his coach and the Capitals were wishing him well after the game.
The Flyers will travel to Washington for Game 5, with a further update on Laughton's condition expected Thursday.
