Michael Leighton - G - Philadelphia Flyers
March 17, 2010 - 11:45 AM ET
GM Paul Holmgren said Michael Leighton's high ankle sprain is a day-to-day injury "for now."
High ankle sprains can take a while to heal, so there's no telling when Leighton will return. The timing of this injury couldn't be much worse as Philadelphia was leaning on Leighton heavily with Ray Emery out for the rest of the regular season. Leighton should undergo an MRI on Wednesday. We'll keep you posted.
