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 Mike Lundin (TB - Defense) News: Lundin was sent down to AHL Norfolk. [+] Impact: He played well enough Sunday and his minus-2 that game is deceiving -- he was better than that. (RotoWire - Mon. Nov 23, 2009) Mike Lundin (TB - D) News: The Tampa Bay Lightning have sent defenseman Mike Lundin back to Norfolk of the AHL, according to the Twitter page of beat writer Erik Erlendsson. Lundin was recalled to provide depth on the blue line in Sunday's game.  [+] Impact: Lundin was recalled due to an injury to Mattius Ohlund, and he made an appearance in yesterday's game. His services were no longer needed with the big club, so he will continue to hone his craft in the AHL. (Fanball - Mon. Nov 23, 2009) Matt Smaby (TB - Defense) News: Smaby injured his hand during his second conditioning trip with Norfolk of the AHL, the Tampa Bay Online reports. [+] Impact: According to Smaby the injury didn't occur during the game, and it shouldn't keep him out long. "I feel really frustrated right now," he said. "I feel that I went down the last time and played really well and showed that I am an NHL player, and then two games in this time this happens. It might sound strange, but the more I think about this season, the crazier it would make me right now. But it is what it is." (RotoWire - Mon. Nov 23, 2009)

Flyers Daniel Briere (PHI - C) News: Daniel Briere had a big night in Monday's 5-4 loss at Colorado, as he racked up two goals and two assists.  [+] Impact: Briere scored in three of his last four games, with three goals and three assists over the span. The 32-year-old vet should remain a solid fantasy center, as long as he can avoid the injury bug. (Fanball - Tue. Nov 24, 2009) Jeff Carter (PHI - C) News: Jeff Carter blasted a pair of goals in Monday's 5-4 loss at Philadelphia.  [+] Impact: Carter snapped a four-game skid without lighting the lamp, and now has nine goals for the season. Hopefully fantasy owners won't have to wait long for his next one. (Fanball - Tue. Nov 24, 2009) Jeff Carter (PHI - Center) News: Carter scored twice in a 5-4 loss at Colorado Monday. [+] Impact: Carter had been off the score sheet for the past four games until Monday's two-goal performance. His 21 points in 21 games is nothing to sneeze at and he now has nine goals on the year. (RotoWire - Mon. Nov 23, 2009)
