The injury news that the Philadelphia Flyers released on Tuesday could have been worse.
Carter Hart may skate before Wednesday’s game against the Washington Capitals but isn’t game-ready yet — and might not be until next week. Nolan Patrick is a possibility to suit up. Jake Voracek won’t play but the team is hopeful he won’t be out of the lineup long after needing an MRI Monday.
Considering the team is still in a long-shot playoff run, more serious injuries could have hurt a lot more. Instead, the Flyers might only be dealt one man-game lost from forwards by the time they return to the ice on Saturday.
