DETROIT - Defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere missed Sunday's 1-0 overtime win in Detroit because of an injured right hand, but the Flyers are hoping he isn't sidelined too long.
General manager Ron Hextall said the hand was "a little sore" and that Gostisbehere was day to day.
Gostisbehere, who had an assist in each of his last four games, was injured when a second-period shot by Dallas' Jordie Benn hit his hand in the Flyers' 4-2 home win Saturday. He returned to the ice in the third period but was not used in late power plays.
Flyers coach Dave Hakstol claimed he didn't use Gostisbehere (16 points in 29 games) on those power plays because the Flyers "had trouble getting up ice" the previous time they had a man advantage, and it was a good time to use Mark Streit.
