The Philadelphia Flyers are active as the NHL trade deadline approaches. The team has already acquired goaltender Petr Mrazek from the Detroit Red Wings to compensate for the loss of both Michal Neuvirth and Brian Elliot, but not the Flyers are having to deal with another injury.
Winger Wayne Simmonds will miss the next 2-3 weeks with an upper body injury, according to a team announcement on Tuesday.
Flyers general manager Ron Hextall declared Neuvirth out long-term on Monday stating that the netminder will miss four-to-six weeks with a lower-body injury.
