Flyers' management didn't give any indication on the nature of Ryan Ellis' injury. Remember that the defenseman only played 4 games this season because of a lower-body injury.
Chuck Fletcher said that a surgery was a possibility but nothing is for sure yet.
Before tonight's game, the TNT broadcast crew talked about Ellis' situation, and Paul Bissonnette, who is a former NHL player, may have revealed the injury that the former Predator is suffering from.
We'll know at the end of the season what was the exact injury. But by then, the Flyers could have been a bit more transparent about it...
