Nick Grossmann

SUNRISE, Fla. — Ron Hextall was working the draft table and the phone Saturday.

The popular discussion among Flyers fans, certainly as evidenced by the questions in this on-the-fly #FlyersMailbag edition, is about Nick Schultz.

PHILADELPHIA — Nick Grossmann won't be suiting up in orange and black again this season, even if his Flyers teammates win two in a row and beat the New York Rangers in the first round. The 29-year-old defenseman had surgery Tuesday to repair tendon damage in his right ankle after going down in the second period of Game 4...

VOORHEES — Hal Gill admitted a couple weeks ago that when he signed with the Flyers after a pro tryout in training camp, he expected the Flyers' defense corps would be faced with a few injuries this season.

Flyers GM Paul Holmgren is hopeful that Nicklas Grossmann will return to the ice this weekend but doesn't expect to have Andrej Meszaros return from an injured back until at least the second round of the playoffs, should the Flyers get that far.

Daniel Briere is sidelined indefinitely because of an upper back contusion and Nicklas Grossmann will be out for seven-to-10 days, both as a result of hits from Penguins forward Joe Vitale.
