SCARY SCENE: Flyers prospect leaves game on stretcher after hit from behind

Nobody ever wants to see a player get hurt, and it was a scary moment for Flyers prospect Jackson Cates during Saturday nights game in Lehigh Valley as he went crashing into the boards after a hit from behind and needed a stretcher to leave the ice.

"It's very tough. We look at the replay, he got pushed from behind. Hopefully the league's going to do something about it. He could have been paralyzed. I think he's okay, he's at the hospital right now."

All the best to Cates. Let's hope this is all precautionary. pic.twitter.com/9LU6bX2Bcp� Tony Androckitis* (@TonyAndrock) March 6, 2022
