Flyers’ Derick Brassard doubtful after one game back
After a month of rehab, rest and solitary skates, Derick Brassard finally made it back into the Flyers’ game day lineup. The next day, he was missing from the ice.
“He’s been dealing with a lingering issue,” Flyers interim coach Mike Yeo said. “We came back from this trip and he had been skating. He’d felt good. Went into the game last game, and today, he didn’t feel good. So I would call him doubtful. I’d call him day-to-day and we’ll go from there.”
This is the second time Brassard returned only to find out he wasn’t ready. Brassard injured his hip on Nov. 23 against the Tampa Bay Lightning. He rested two weeks before returning for the Flyers’ Dec. 8 game against the New York Rangers. While he played the entire game, he didn’t feel good the next day and went back into rehab.
