The Flyers have five games between now and their five-day Christmas break, so Streit’s absence likely puts him out for all five of those games. Ideally, Streit would return for the Flyers’ game in St. Louis on December 28.

The team has not yet announced any corresponding roster move and currently has just six healthy defensemen, depending on Shayne Gostisbehere’s status.
