""Philadelphia Flyers forward Oskar Lindblom has been diagnosed with Ewing's sarcoma by leading specialists at the University of Pennsylvania. He will undergo further testing and evaluation next week and begin treatment immediately thereafter. He is not expected to play for the remainder of the season. The Flyers will do everything possible to support Oskar and assist him securing the best care available. Out of respect for Oskar and his family, the team will have no further comment at this time and asks that Oskar be afforded a period of privacy so that he may focus his efforts on his treatment and a return to full health.""Ewing sarcoma is a cancerous tumor that grows in the bones or in the tissue around bones (soft tissue) - often the legs, pelvis, ribs, arms or spine. Ewing sarcoma can spread to the lungs, bones and bone marrow. Our thoughts and prayers are with Oskar and his family and hope for a full recovery.
