It appears as though the Philadelphia Flyers have lost another key cog in their quest for the Stanley Cup.
Forward Ian Laperriere, who hasn't skated since taking a slap shot to the face in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals last Thursday against the New Jersey Devils, suffered a mild concussion and is likely lost for the remainder of the playoffs.
Flyers General Manager Paul Holmgren made that official via a conference call on Tuesday afternoon after speaking to Dr. Joseph Maroon, the chief neurosurgeon and Vice Chairman and Professor at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.
