The 6-3 loss for the Philadelphia Flyers against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Saturday didn't come without a further loss.
On Thursday night, Erik Gustafsson played an integral part to the Flyers third-period comeback, scoring the third of five Flyers goals in the period.
On Saturday, Gustafsson suffered an injury in the third period and left the game. It is now known that Gustafsson will be out for two weeks with a left knee sprain.
The Flyers were without Nick Grossmann in Saturday's game as well due to the flu. Grossmann may be back in time for Monday. Hal Gill, who played for Grossmann, may now be in for Gustafsson. Other options include Andrej Meszaros, who has been a healthy scratch recently, or someone from the AHL.
Gustafsson has two goals and five assists in 20 games with the Flyers this season.
