Tough Blow for Flyers, Brian Elliott

It's never easy for the Flyers in net.

Things got only tougher Tuesday as goalie Brian Elliott underwent core muscle surgery and is expected out five to six weeks.

For the time being, the Flyers will turn to Michal Neuvirth and Alex Lyon. General manager Ron Hextall will address the media at 6:15 p.m. prior to tonight's game against the Devils at the Wells Fargo Center.

The 32-year-old Elliott is 21-11-7 with a 2.72 goals-against average and .908 save percentage in his first season with the Flyers after signing a two-year deal in the offseason.
