The Philadelphia Flyers face another setback as defenseman Jamie Drysdale has been placed on injured reserve due to an upper-body injury. He missed the final moments of regulation and overtime in the recent shootout loss to the Florida Panthers.

Drysdale has struggled this season, recording one goal and three points in 15 games, while averaging over 20 minutes of ice time. Coach John Tortorella noted that Drysdale is 'dinged up,' and Erik Johnson will step into the lineup against the San Jose Sharks.
