Ryan Parent is expected to miss six weeks due to a back injury.
Parent is scheduled to undergo back surgery on Monday. "After running the gamut with Ryan in terms of different things we have tried to relieve the discomfort he was having, we felt this was the way to go for Ryan's overall health," Flyers GM Paul Holmgren said. If there's a silver lining in all of this for Parent, it's that Philadelphia won't play between February 13th and March 2nd anyways due to the Olympic break. He has two points and 14 penalty minutes in 28 games this season. |
