Briere to Miss 4-to-5 weeks

Flyers center Danny Briere will miss the next four to five weeks with a groin strain.

Briere left Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Tampa Bay Lightning after taking a hit in the second period. Prior to that contest, he had missed 14 of the previous 16 games with a series of injuries.

In only nine games played this season, Briere has five goals and four assists with 10 penalty minutes.

Ed. note Briere was totally ineffective and invisible during his little ice time in the game. For anyone interested, look up the record without Briere this year as opposed to without. It's surprising.
