It was a scary moment Saturday night at the Wells Fargo Center after Raffl collapsed on the bench during the second period, according to CSN Philly's Tim Panaccio.
According to the Courier-Post's Dave Isaac, a doctor came down from the stands, as Raffl needed help to get into the tunnel and the locker room.
The Flyers announced Raffl would not return to the game and addressed it as an upper-body injury.
According to Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News, Raffl appeared to have caught the elbow of New York's Jarret Stoll, who had it up unintentionally. However, it has not been deemed as the definitive cause for Raffl's troubles on the bench.
Ryan Ohanesian of WeJustScored.com provided the replay:
Raffl is in his third season in the NHL and coming off a career-high 21-goal campaign in 2014-15. In six games this season he has no goals and an assist.
