Philadelphia Flyers News

The Flyers reassigned David Kase to Lehigh Valley (AHL).

Kase played just 5:00 TOI in Saturday's loss to the Lightning. He returns to the AHL with Connor Bunnaman coming the other way to serve as the Flyers' fourth-line centre on Monday. Kase has three goals and four assists (seven points) in 29 AHL games this season.

Braun (groin) is expected to miss the rest of January.

Braun left Saturday's game in Arizona in the third period and head coach Alain Vigneault said he suffered a groin tweak and will be out through the All-Star break. With Braun not available for Monday's practice, Travis Sanheim and Philippe Myers were together and Robert Hagg and Shayne Gostisbehere were on the third pair.

The Predators have placed Ryan Ellis (upper-body) on IR.

Ellis was knocked out of the Winter Classic after being elbowed in the face by Corey Perry early in the first period. The Predators are still calling it an "upper-body injury" but it sure looked like a concussion. The Predators used the roster spot to call-up, Alexandre Carrier, from Milwaukee (AHL).

Konecny (concussion) will return to the Flyers lineup on Tuesday.

Konecny missed the last three games with a concussion that he suffered on December 7th vs. the Senators. He was back on the is for Monday's morning skate and will play on the top line with Claude Giroux and Sean Couturier. Konecny has three goals and one assist in his last four games.

The NHL has suspended Joel Farabee for three games for his hit on Mathieu Perreault on Sunday.

Farabee was suspended for his "interference" on Perreault in the blowout loss. Perreault is out with a concussion and Farabee will miss the next three contests. This is a poorly timed suspension for the Flyers, who were without Travis Konecny, Oskar Lindblom, Tyler Pitlick, Scott Laughton, Michael Raffl and Nolan Patrick on Sunday.

Konecny is out indefinitely with a concussion.

Konecny was forced to leave Saturday's game against the Senators after being crushed by Mark Borowiecki in open ice. Konecny was visually shaken by the hit, left immediately and did not return to the game. On Monday, the Flyers announced that he is out indefinitely with a concussion, so expect him to miss at least one week.

Travis Konecny
Johnson is expected to miss the next three games with a lower-body injury.

Johnson suffered a lower-body injury on a hit-from-behind by former teammate Alexander Kerfoot on Saturday and will miss all three of this week's games. Kerfoot was suspended for two games for the hit and Mark Barberio is expected to replace Johnson in the lineup.
