NEW YORK (AP) - Philadelphia centre Jeremy Roenick was injured Thursday night when he was struck in the face by a puck during the Flyers' game against the New York Rangers.
The puck appeared to catch Roenick in the jaw and he collapsed in a pool of blood to the left of Flyers goalie Sean Burke with 15:51 remaining in the third period.
Roenick was motionless for several minutes before getting up and slowly leaving the ice while clutching a towel to his face. He was later helped onto a stretcher.
Roenick, who assisted on Simon Gagne's goal, is the Flyers second-leading scorer with 45 points on 18 goals and 27 assists.
The Flyers lost another centre less than a minute later Keith Primeau was helped from the ice after a collision with the Rangers' Bobby Holik.
It was the second time this season that Roenick had been hit in the face by a puck. He needed 26 stitches to close a facial would after getting hit by an errant slapshot in practice on January 6.
