Flyers’ Hextall: Three Games, Three Injuries
- Share via
NEW HAVEN, Conn. — Goaltender Ron Hextall was carried from the ice midway through the third period Wednesday night after injuring his right groin while playing for Hershey, the Philadelphia Flyers’ top farm team.
Hextall, who had sustained groin and hamstring injuries in his two NHL games this season, injured the other groin muscle while trying to stop a wrist shot by New Haven’s Scott Bjugstad.
Hextall was with Hershey on a one-game rehabilitation assignment.
“I made that move and I just felt it pop,” Hextall said. “I just don’t know what to do to catch a break. It seems like I can’t get through a game.”
Hextall injured his left groin Nov. 4 in Toronto and hurt his left hamstring in a 5-4 victory over the New York Islanders Nov. 15.
