Tye McGinn was called up from the Phantoms to the Flyers on Sunday as Steve Downie’s temporary replacement.
Downie appeared to concuss himself during an odd play right at the start of Saturday’s 4-1 Flyers’ win over St. Louis.
Skating slowly up the side boards, Downie turned around to look behind him and ran smack into the Blues’ Patrik Berglund. The way Downie hit the ice and remained, suggested a concussion and/or whiplash injury. He had to be helped off the ice and did not play again.
The club lists him as day to day.
Downie already has had one prolonged concussion since joining the Flyers in late October in a bad trade that sent the Flyers’ top penalty-killing forward at the time, Max Talbot, to the Colorado Avalanche.
