Flyers' Wayne Simmonds (upper body) to miss 2-3 weeks

Philadelphia Flyers winger Wayne Simmonds will be out 2-to-3 weeks due to an upper-body injury.

What It Means:

Simmonds had played in all 59 games to date. His absence has forced the Flyers to call up Oskar Lindblom from the minors. He could make his NHL debut Tuesday against the Montreal Canadiens.

Through 59 games and 1,089 minutes, Simmonds has tallied 20 goals, 17 assists and 10 power play goals this season.
