Philadelphia Flyers goaltender, Antero Niittymaki, will be out of the lineup for four-to-six weeks after having surgery on his left hip. According to GM Paul Holmgren, Niittymaki had some fluid and loose bodies (?) drained from his hip and that it was more of a “clean up process” than anything else. Why didn’t he do this earlier in the summer? He started feeling the discomfort in July. He’s going to miss all of training camp now!
