A day after being stretchered off the ice following a collision into the boards, Philadelphia Flyers forward Scott Laughton was released from the hospital Thursday afternoon.
Laughton, 21, got hurt Wednesday night during Game 4 of the Flyers’ best-of-seven series with the Washington Capitals when he crashed back-first into the boards behind the net after a shove from defenceman John Carlson.
The six-foot-one forward remained motionless on the ice, but was able to communicate with staff before he was taken to the hospital.
