During the first period the 21-year-old lost an edge and careened into the boards taking out Rangers’ defenceman K’Andre Miller in the process. Soon after he exited the game.

The New York native has scored in each of the past three games and has seven goals with ten points on the season.

The injury bug has hit the Flyers hard this year who are currently without Derick Brassard, Nate Thompson and Ryan Ellis.

Philadelphia, seventh in the Metropolitan division, is 8-9-4 on the season and will take on the 13-5-4 Tampa Bay Lightning Sunday.
