In a frightening moment, Michael Neuvirth, a goalie for the Philadelphia Flyers, collapsed in his own goal during Saturday's game against the New Jersey Devils, and his teammates and medial personal immediately rushed to his side.

Neuvirth was awaiting a faceoff on the other end of the ice when he just collapsed.

He was awake as medical personnel took him off the ice.

Afterwards, Flyers general manager Ron Hextall said Neuvirth had been suffering from a chest cold, and he was taken to a local hospital for observation.
