The Flyers added some offensive depth Saturday when they acquired Finnish left wing Ville Leino from the Detroit Red Wings for little-used defenseman Ole-Kristian Tollefsen and a fifth-round pick in 2011. That news was trumped, however, by the revelation that goaltender Ray Emery sat out Saturday night’s game against the Minnesota Wild with what general manager Paul Holmgren called “tightness in his left hip.” Emery was replaced by Michael Leighton, who made his second straight start. Emery underwent surgery to repair a torn muscle in his lower abdominal wall on Dec. 9 and returned to the lineup Jan. 17, when he began a stretch of eight straight starts. He was pulled from the lineup before Thursday’s night’s 1-0 loss in Edmonton for what Holmgren said was a day of rest. Emery, 27, has no history of hip injuries. Whether or not this latest setback impacts the Flyers’ willingness to extend his contract remains to be seen
