Introduction
Scott Glenn Laughton (born May 30, 1994) is a Canadian professional ice hockey centre who currently plays for the Philadelphia Flyers of the National Hockey League (NHL). He was drafted in the first round, 20th overall, at the 2012 NHL Entry Draft by the Philadelphia Flyers.
Playing career
Laughton signed a three-year entry-level contract with the Flyers on August 8, 2012. Following the 2012–13 NHL lockout, Laughton made the Flyers out of the team's abbreviated training camp and made his NHL debut on January 19, 2013 at home against the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Following the Flyers 2013–14 preseason training camp, Laughton was loaned back to the Oshawa Generals of the OHL after failing to stick with the NHL club to start the season.
Laughton scored his first career NHL goal in the second period of the Flyers 5-1 win over the Carolina Hurricanes on December 13, 2014.
On April 20, 2016, after colliding with the end boards during a first round playoff game against the Washington Capitals, Laughton was stretchered off the ice and admitted to a local hospital for precautionary reasons. He was released from the hospital the day after.
