Flyers center Danny Briere has been cleared to return to the teamโs lineup Thursday, when the Flyers take on conference rivals the Washington Capitals.
โHe looks good, so weโre pretty optimistic that we can get him in,โ Flyers coach John Stevens told the Inquirer.
Briere has been out since March 5โs 5-1 loss to the Calgary Flames, when he reinjured his groin. In all, the Flyersโ center has missed 53 games this season.
In the 12 games heโs played, Briere has five goals and four assists. Last season, in 79 games, he recorded 31 goals and 41 assists.
"I just want to get back out there, get as prepared as possible for the playoffs," Briere said.
