Flyers' hired goon Josh Gratton cleared waivers on Tuesday, and was subsequently shipped across the street and down one level to the Phantoms. He had been held without a point but racked up 31 penalty minutes in 11 games with the Flyers.
The move was not unexpected, as Danny Briere apparently pronounced himself fit to return to the lineup against Tampa Bay following the morning skate.
Briere has missed nine straight games and 14 of the last 16 contests trying to recover from a groin injury which everyone still maintains has nothing to do with his earlier stomach muscle pulls which required surgery.
In addition, it is still a question whether or not Jeff Carter will dress for tonight's game since he's battling shoulder problems. Carter leads the team and is second in the NHL with 16 goals entering play.
