Emery to the Injured Reserve, will miss six weeks.

The Flyers have officially announced that Ray Emery will undergo surgery tomorrow, Wednesday, December 9th, to repair a torn muscle in his lower abdominal wall. According to the Flyers general manager, Paul Holmgren, Emery will miss approximately five to six weeks.

This injury could answer some of the questions surrounding Emery’s less than solid play as of late, so it will be interesting to see if anything further comes from this.

Emery has an 11-8-1 record with a 2.83 GAA.

The Flyers have called up Johan Backlund from the Phantoms to replace Emery as well as David Laliberte, who will play tonight against the Islanders.
