Playing without Simon Gagne and Danny Briere, the Flyers didn't back down. Instead, they became aggressive. Mike Richards and Jeff Carter scored two goals apiece and rookie David Laliberte and Scott Hartnell also tallied, leading Philadelphia to a 6-2 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Monday night. The Flyers' excitement over their victory was offset by the news that Gagne will miss six to eight weeks. He's scheduled to have hernia and hip surgery on Tuesday.

PLAYER NEWS

Lightning Mattias Ohlund (TB - Defense) News: Ohlund (foot) will not play Sunday and hopes to return by Wednesday, the Tampa Tribune reports. [+] Impact: Ohlund had expected to return Thursday initially, so don't get your hopes too high about his guess being right this time. (RotoWire - Nov 22, 2009) Mike Lundin (TB - Defense) News: Lundin was called up Saturday. [+] Impact: He had two goals, 11 points and plus-3 in 20 games in the AHL but won't be counted on for offense in the NHL. (RotoWire - Nov 22, 2009) Antero Niittymaki (TB - G) News: Antero Niittymaki stopped 28 of the 31 shots he faced on Sunday as the Lightning defeated the Thrashers 4-3 in overtime. Niittymaki is undefeated in is career against the Thrashers.  [+] Impact: Niitty has a 14-0 record against the Thrashers in his career, but he was in danger of losing that streak today. He alowed three third period goals to let Atlanta back in it, but his team delivered the win in overtime. (Fanball - Sun. Nov 22, 2009)

Flyers Darroll Powe (PHI - C) News: According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, Darroll Powe suffered a shoulder injury in Friday's loss to San Jose. [+] Impact: No word on how long Powe will be sidelined, but the Flyers are expected to find out later today. It doesn't sound good though as GM Paul Holmgren called the injury "significant". Stay tuned. (Fanball - Sun. Nov 22, 2009) Blair Betts (PHI - C) News: The Philadelphia Inquirer reports that Blair Betts will miss at least four weeks with a shoulder injury. [+] Impact: This makes shoulder injury number-two for Betts this season. He dislocated the same right shoulder back in early October, and it looks like it's going to be troublesome for some time. He won't be missed in the fantasy world. (Fanball - Sun. Nov 22, 2009) Blair Betts (PHI - Center) News: Betts returned to the locker room late in the first period with a dislocated right shoulder in Saturday's 3-1 loss to Phoenix. [+] Impact: Betts is expected to miss at least a month.
