Neuvirth suffered concussion as a result of collapse

It was a night of bad news for Michal Neuvirth.

When the Philadelphia Flyers netminder collapsed during an April 1 contest against the New Jersey Devils, he suffered a concussion as a result of the fall, according to Sam Carchidi of The Philadelphia Inquirer.

The incident occurred early in the first period against the Devils. Neuvirth left the ice on a stretcher and was taken to a Philadelphia hospital. The team later stated Neuvirth collapsed after dealing with an illness earlier in the day.

Neuvirth did not appear in any games following the incident.

The Flyers signed Neuvirth to a two-year extension in March, a contract that kicks in at the beginning of next season.
