PHI goalie Michal Neuvirth collapsed untouched in goal. Moving legs, eyes open...stretcher out and doctors looking at him.

Anthony Stolarz entered in the place of Neuvirth, who was conscious when he left the game. The Flyers announced Neuvirth has been taken to hospital for observation, while the team will provide more Sunday.

Neuvirth won't go with Flyers to NY for game vs. Rangers Sunday. Mason, who is ill, is questionable
