The Carolina Hurricanes have blown 2-0 lead in consecutive games, but now they will be without young defenseman Ryan Murphy because of a concussion.
Murphy was boarded by Flyers forward Ryan White in the early stages of period two in Saturday’s 3-2 overtime loss. He momentarily stayed on the bench, but he eventually went to the Canes locker room and did not return.
Word is now that he is concussed. The severity of the concussion has yet to be disclosed, but he likely will be out for Monday’s game.
