Philadelphia Flyers GM Ron Hextall announced that forward Wayne Simmonds will be out 2-3 weeks with an upper-body injury, while goaltender Michal Neuvirth will be out 4-6 weeks with a lower-body injury.

The announcement comes during the team's morning skate in preparation for their game vs. Montreal (7pm, NBCSP & 97.5 The Fanatic).

Simmonds has appeared in all 59 games so far for the Flyers, recording 37 points (20g-17a) along with four game-winning goals. This marked the fifth consecutive seasons he has scored 20 or more goals, and six of his seven seasons as a Flyer - the only season he produced less than 20 goals was the 48-game lockout shortened season in 2012-13 when he potted 15 goals in 45 games.
