Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - The Philadelphia Flyers will be without
forward Wayne Simmonds for Saturday's game against the Carolina Hurricanes.
"Wayne will not play in tonight's game because of head and neck injuries
suffered in last nights game. He will be re-evaluated tomorrow," said Flyers
general manager Paul Holmgren prior to the contest.
Simmonds left late in the first period of Friday's 3-2 loss in Washington and
did not return after absorbing a hit to the head by Capitals defenseman John
Erskine.
Erskine was not penalized on the play and faced a disciplinary
hearing in New York Saturday afternoon.
