Flyers defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen sounds like he could be done for the season according to coach John Tortorella who met with the press before tonight’s game against the Capitals in Washington. The Flyers made the announcement shortly thereafter.
Injury update: Flyers defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen is week-to-week with an upper-body injury.

With just 12 more games to go following tonight’s contest, it’s doubtful Ristolainen would be rushed back to finish the season. Possibly returning too soon to play essentially meaningless games and make the injury worse certainly wouldn’t be prudent.
