Flyers' Michal Neuvirth released from hospital

Flyers goalie Michal Neuvirth has been released from Pennsylvania Hospital in Philadelphia and is home resting, the team announced Sunday.

Neuvirth, 29, was taken to the hospital after collapsing in his crease early in Saturday night's game against the New Jersey Devils.

Neuvirth was awaiting a faceoff at the far end of the ice about seven-and-a-half minutes into the game when he fell and landed on his back. Flyers athletic trainer Jim McCrossin quickly ran onto the ice to attend to him and was joined by three other team doctors.

Neuvirth appeared to be unconscious for a brief time, but he began moving his arms and legs and sat up in his crease before being placed on a stretcher and carted off the ice.
