This isn't good. Whatever your feelings on Braydon Coburn might be, he is one of the Flyers two best defenseman. He's now out of the Flyers lineup with a lower-body injury -- exactly what that injury might be is unknown -- and it looks like it could be serious, according to what Ron Hextall said before the game Thursday night.

Coburn's injury is going to keep him out for awhile. — Bill Meltzer (@billmeltzer) October 9, 2014

I mean, if you look at it in the worst way, the Flyers have now lost both pieces of last year's top pairing to injury: Coburn and Kimmo Timonen. This is on a defense that was already mediocre at best, and now is just flat out bad.

So, what now? The Flyers have a defensive unit that looks like this for tonight's game against New Jersey (and by "this" we mean "really, really ugly").

Nick Schultz - Andrew MacDonald

Nicklas Grossmann - Mark Streit

Luke Schenn - Michael Del Zotto

There's one guy on that list we'd consider "good" and his name is Mark Streit. Everybody else is league average or worse.
