Flyers' Michael Del Zotto (lower-body injury) on shelf for four-to-five weeks

Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Michael Del Zotto is out four-to-five weeks with a lower-body injury.

What It Means:

Del Zotto hasn't played since February 13 after missing the end of the 2015-16 season. The Flyers are facing some salary cap struggles, so they may opt to put Del Zotto on the long-term injured reserve list to provide some temporary cap relief.

Del Zotto finished with 13 points in 52 games. His Corsi For Percentage (51.0) was just above his career-average, while his Relative Corsi For Percentage at Even Strength (2.3) was a career-best clips.
