In two separate incidents Tuesday night, Flyers defensemen Andrew MacDonald and Brandon Manning crumbled to the ice in the second period of their 5-1 loss in Carolina.
With 12 minutes, 55 seconds left in the second, MacDonald was elbowed to the head by Lee Stempniak and had to go to the locker room for a concussion test. Stempniak received a two-minute boarding penalty.
About nine minutes later, Jeff Skinner put his stick across the mouth of Manning, drawing blood but no penalty. Adding insult to injury, literally, Skinner scored a few seconds later to give the Hurricanes a 3-0 lead.
