“Chris will have surgery on his left knee tomorrow afternoon. The surgery will be performed by Dr. Peter DeLuca. The procedure will clean out some loose particles that have given Chris some problems over the last month or so. "

Pronger's return date is scheduled for the Winter Classic. In the meantime, look for Kevin Marshall to stay in the lineup. Hopefully Yahoo! will now add him to IR.

INJURY UPDATE: #Flyers GM Paul Holmgren says that Andreas Nodl has an upper-body injury and will not return to the game.

Nodl collided with teammate Daniel Briere early in the game and joins the Flyers' wounded because of it. Look for the team to make a recall if a wounded forward cant dress.

Among the wounded was defenseman Chris Pronger, who first took to the practice ice on November 4th in his recovery from a nasty eye injury. Less than a week later, he may just be ready to return to game action.

Expect Pronger to return tonight and lead the blue line from the top pairing. The team's captain scored a goal and seven points through eight games before missing the past six games.

Pronger says he will have to see how he feels after morning skate tomorrow before figuring out if he will play against Tampa.

Keep an eye on the situation but it seems like Pronger gets back into the lineup tomorrow. The team's captain scored a goal and seven points through eight games before missing the past six games.

Pronger is again skating with Carle in practice, a good sign that he could, and I stress could, be ready to play tomorrow night in Tampa.

Keep an eye on the situation but it seems like Pronger gets back into the lineup tomorrow. The team's captain scored a goal and seven points through eight games before missing the past six games.

Pronger on his visor: "It IS clear. So I CAN see through it." Still doesn't like it. Hasn't worn one since playing in juniors.

Pronger may have a slight adjustment period once he returns from his eye injury. Through his first eight games, the team's captain scored a goal and seven points.
