Injury Bug Bites Philadelphia Flyers Again

During the Philadelphia Flyers vs. Atlanta Thrashers game on March 21, 2010 Jeff Carter was blocking a shot and took a puck to the side of his left foot. Carter stated, “It was a harmless play, kind of took one off the side. I went home last night and it started getting worse and worse. I got it checked this morning and here we are. “Coach Peter Laviolette stated, “No one likes to lose one of your best players.”

General Manager Paul Holmgren added, “Jeff is a tough kid and when he is able to come back, he will. Obviously we are not going to put Jeff in a position to injure him further.” In seventy two games this season for the Flyers, Jeff Carter was the scoring and point leader on the team.With Jeff Carter out of the lineup, I hope to see Leino get a chance more often.
