Flyers defenseman Michael Del Zotto out injured for 4-5 weeks

Flyers defenseman Michael Del Zotto will miss the next four to five weeks due to a lower body injury.

The Flyers did not disclose when the injury occured, and (not surprisingly) didn't say anything more speciflc about what the injury is.

The injury is not believed related to Del Zotto's February wrist surgery. Earlier this week, he said his wrist was 100 percent.

Del Zotto played 16 minutes, 34 seconds in Thursday's 4-2 win over the New york Rangers at Madison Square Garden. He has played in five preseason games so far, with an average ice time of 20:48.
