"It's going to be OK," Muckler said of Hasek's injury. "He's going to be able to play. But we're not going to put a date on it. We want Dom to come back when he's able to play."

FLYERS INJURIES

The Philadelphia Flyers lost nearly 300 man-games to injury in their first 60 games this season, a whopping total considering that about a quarter of the 82-game regular season remains.

Despite losing their captain, Keith Primeau, to postconcussion syndrome and their best player, Peter Forsberg, for 16 games because of a groin injury, the Flyers have contended for first place in the Atlantic Division all season.

"I think we've had to remake ourselves about four times this year, and the players have done a tremendous job at adjusting and yet not lowering the bar," Coach Ken Hitchcock said Thursday.
