Laperriere to miss the rest of the season?
Philadelphia Flyers forward Ian Laperriere is likely to miss the rest of the NHL season, according to Flyers GM Paul Holmgren. Laperriere suffered a concussion and a contusion of the brain when he was nailed with a slap shot just above his right eye in Game 5 against the New Jersey Devils.

”I think this is significant,” Holmgren said of the injury. ”They saw a spot there [on his brain] initially, and I think they were hoping, like we all were, that it would dissipate a little bit. Right now, it’s not safe for him to play.”
Laperriere will not require surgery, according to Holmgren. And it seems like he’ll be out about four weeks and will take another CT scan.
”It’s hard to replace Ian and what he does, particularly on the penalty-kill. He’s a heart-and-soul guy on our team, and it’s hard to replace that,” said Holmgren.
