Michael Leighton sidelined for 7-10 days
Michael Leighton - G - Philadelphia Flyers
Feb. 10, 2013 - 2:25 PM ET

The Philadelphia Flyers placed netminder Michael Leighton on the injured reserve on Sunday.

The journeyman netminder is expected to miss 7-10 days with an upper-body injury. It isn't a major loss for a Philadelphia team that leans heavily on Ilya Bryzgalov; they'll turn to experienced backup Brian Boucher in Leighton's absence.
