The injury bug has gotten rolling through the Flyers organization, and some clarity was shed on the statuses of a few injured players down in the AHL with the Phantoms.
The big news is that, per Phantoms communications, Cal Petersen sustained a lower body injury in last Wednesday’s game — in which he was run over twice in his crease — and is expected to miss 6-8 weeks while he recovers. That would put his return somewhere around the beginning of March, if all goes smoothly in that recovery. And that’s another significant hit taken to their goaltending depth — we recall, Eetu Makiniemi also took a lower-body injury in November and isn’t expected back until, at the earliest, the end of next month.
