On Thursday afternoon, at around 3:30 PM EST, the Flyers made a very important announcement:
Injury update: Defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere will have arthroscopic surgery on his left knee on Tuesday, Jan. 14. He is expected to return to play in approximately three weeks.

The news comes after an MRI was performed on the 26 year old defenseman after he missed the Flyers’ win at home against the Capitals, having played 16:14 against the Hurricanes in an overtime loss. In Gostisbehere’s absence, Mark Friedman was called up from the Phantoms, playing 11:49 total on Wednesday.
