Downie out of hospital

Flyers GM Paul Holmgren confirmed to NHL.com on Sunday afternoon that forward Steve Downie has left a local hospital.

Downie had spent the last day-plus under observation for a concussion and possible broken orbital bone suffered in a third-period fight with Washington's Aaron Volpatti in Friday's 7-0 home loss.

After Saturday's 1-0 win at New Jersey, Craig Berube's club faces another division road test, at Carolina, on Tuesday, before returning home to face the Devils on Thursday.
