Lindros Discharged From Hospital After Concussion PHILADELPHIA (Reuters) - Philadelphia Flyers star center Eric Lindros was released from Pennsylvania Hospital Saturday after doctors confirmed he had suffered his third concussion in as many months in Friday's decisive game of the NHL Eastern Conference finals. Lindros was hospitalized overnight but returned home Saturday, team officials said. Playing just his second game after sitting out for two and a half months while recovering from the effects of a pair of concussions, Lindros was leveled by a thunderous open-ice check from New Jersey Devils defenseman Scott Stevens less than eight minutes into Philadelphia's 2-1 Game 7 defeat. As Lindros was skating across the Devils blue line with his head down, Stevens clobbered him with a shoulder-to-head check. Lindros never saw Stevens coming and he was sent crashing with his head bouncing off the ice. Lindros had to be helped off the ice by teammates but he was able to walk under his own power as he headed for the hospital. It remains to be seen whether the 27-year-old six-time All-Star can continue his NHL career as the head injuries continue to accumulate. Lindros's younger brother, Brett, was forced to retire after the 1995-96 season due to multiple concussions. One of the most physically imposing players in the NHL, Lindros also has proven to be one of the most brittle. The former Flyers captain suffered his fourth concussion in two years on March 4 when he was checked by Boston Bruins defenseman Hal Gill. Team physicians insisted Lindros had suffered a Grade I concussion and he briefly returned to action. When the symptoms, including dizziness and headaches, continued, a head injury specialist diagnosed a more serious Grade II concussion. Lindros was recovering from that concussion when he suffered another in early May when he was accidentally was hit by a minor league defenseman during a supposedly controlled scrimmage. He was surprisingly effective in an inspiring comeback in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals on Wednesday, but then came Friday's crushing blow. ``It's sad to see Eric get hurt again,'' said Flyers defenseman Eric Desjardins, who replaced Lindros as team captain. ``He played in Game Six and was fine.''
