Philadelphia, PA (My Sportsbook) - Philadelphia Flyers veteran forward John LeClair suffered a fractured bone on the outside of his left foot when he was hit by a puck during Sunday's practice at West Point. "John got hit with a puck in his left foot," said Dr. Peter DeLuca. "An (initial) x-ray didn't show anything, but John had continued discomfort. A second x-ray did indeed show a fracture of the fifth metatarsal." He is in a walking boot and is expected to be sidelined for two-to-four weeks. LeClair, entering his 10th season in Philly, scored 18 goals with 10 assists in 35 games last season. He has been bothered by a bad back over the last few years, although he did play in all 82 games during the 2001-02 season. In 789 career games, including a stint in Montreal, LeClair has recorded 358 goals and 343 assists. |
