• Mark Streit (LTIR) is out about six weeks to have surgery to repair a pubic plate detachment.

STREIT OUT; GOSTISBEHERE AND LEIER IN
The Flyers announced today that defenseman Mark Streit will undergo surgery Tuesday morning to repair a pubic plate detachment. The surgery will be performed by Dr. William Meyers. He is expected to be out at six weeks.

Streit will join RJ Umberger on the injured reserve. In his 16 games this season, Streit has posted three goals and six assists for nine points.

The Flyers also announced that defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere and left wing Taylor Leier have been called up from their AHL affiliate, the Lehigh Valley Phantoms. Gostisbehere has notched two goals and eight assists in his 14 games this season with the Phantoms. Last year he joined the parent club for two games.

On the other side of the ice, Taylor Leier could make his NHL debut tonight. He's currently standing at four goals and five assists with the Phantoms.

That was an odd play. Didn't look like a really hard hit or anything and Liles is tiny and isn't known as a dirty player. I'm curious to see what the actual injury was.

I think it was a case of him letting his guard down & not expecting to get hit there. So he didn't really brace for it leaving him exposed.

I thought it was a leg injury initially but I saw a gif of him holding his shoulder with it slouched over as he was leaving the ice.

If you watch it again, his arm is pressed right against the rim of the boards

Yeah in the gif it looked a like a potential separated shoulder injury. I'm no doctor though so we'll see.

 

[JVR21]

Let's hope there's a call up to take his place rather than Lecavalier and his 0 win record.

Gotta assume it just means leier hangs around and bschenn comes back not that he ever should have left but...

Raffl - g - Jake

Schenn - laughton - gagner
Vdv - peb - leier

 

[Curufinwe]

The first reply on that tweet is some idiot saying it's a concussion. When do teams ever specify a 2-4 week timetable the day after a player is actually concussed?

 

[renberg]

Is it time to bring up Cousins with White out?

They don't have to call anybody up but if they do I'd imagine it's one of Straka or Conner as they're wingers.

 

[Rebels57]

Schenn back in lineup. Keep Leier in. Keep Lecavalier out. Makes too much sense so it concerns me.

Umberger update from November 26:

Flyers right winger R.J. Umberger, sidelined since blocking a Blake Wheeler shot Nov. 7 in Winnipeg, returned to practice Thursday, a first step toward returning to the lineup.

"It felt better than expected; it was a good first time, and hopefully I can be able to build from it and get in position to play soon," said Umberger, who suffered an apparent foot injury.

He has missed the last eight games, and won't play Friday afternoon against visiting Nashville or Saturday afternoon against the Rangers at Madison Square Garden.

"It's 19 days right now, and it feels like an eternity," he said.

Umberger has missed 11 games with two separate injuries this season.

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

Nov. 26:
Ryan White continues to skate but no contact. He won't play either game this weekend which isn't unexpected news. He said he is a few days away from contact.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

It'll be nice to get White and Umberger back.

The team played well enough with the healthy lineup, even if goals were still hard to come by.

 

[Curufinwe]

Yeah, Leier would be better off back in the AHL than getting 8 minutes on the 4th line.

Hopefully they don't lump Cousins with Laughton and give them no time.

December 1, Umberger (and White) info:

From Sam Carchidi's Twitter:

White and Umberger may be able to play this weekend, Hexy says.

Randy Miller article:

Monday was a good day.

Sidelined since Nov. 7 with a lower-body injury that is believed to be a foot issue, Umberger returned to practice.

Very soon Umberger expects to receive medical clearance to play, and ASAP he hopes to get back in the Flyers lineup and start doing what GM Ron Hextall expected trading left wing Scott Hartnell for him in June 2014.

He has one more season after this one on a five-year, $23-million contract that carries a $4.6 million cap hit, and that makes him a very strong candidate to be bought out after this season. He was worried last season, and if the Flyers go that route after the 2015-16 season, they'll reduce his cap hit to $1.6 million cap next season but also be stuck with a $1.5 million cap hit in 2017-18.

Cousins and McDonald are sure to go down as Umberger and White get healthy. They got less than 7 minutes tonight.

December 4 update:

Injury updates
Prior to Friday’s game, Flyers GM Ron Hextall provided an update on a few of the Flyers’ banged up skaters.

Defenseman Mark Streit (pubic plate detachment) will begin working out on the ice every day starting Monday. He’s still about three weeks away from a return, however.

Forwards R.J. Umberger (left foot) and Ryan White (right shoulder) are close to 100 percent and could be re-joining the Flyers soon, according to Hextall. It’s possible both players will be available Saturday, but neither should be considered a lock to play.
