Keith Primeau is expected to announce he won’t be playing this season later today. The announcement will be made at 11am at the Skate Zone in Voorhees, NJ. This has been pretty much known for the past month or so, the announcement just makes it official. Primeau is still experiencing spinning sensations. He has been injured since October 25 when Alexander Perezhogin delivered an elbow to his jaw.

Simon Gagne’s bruised knee is doing better than expected, according to Coach Ken Hitchcock. He is listed day to day.

Both Chris Therien and Kim Johnsson have head injuries and will be out indefinitely. Neither is well enough to do any sort of exercising. Therien was injured February 4 against the Rangers. Johnsson was injured in mid-January from a number of hits.

Michal Handzus injured his shoulder February 10 against the Washington Capitals, a hit from former Flyer, Dainius Zubrus. Handzus suffered a torn labrum that will require surgery after the season. He is expected to be out 10 days.

Returning to the lineup from injury are Peter Forsberg, Mike Rathje, Petr Nedved and Branko Radivojevic.
