Already in the midst of a 3-game losing streak, the news just keeps getting worse for the Philadelphia Flyers.
Flyers’ forward Danny Briere was suspended by the NHL Tuesday for a hit on Colorado Avalanche defenseman Scott Hannan in Monday night’s Flyer loss. The hit came just after Hannan scored a goal to give the Avs a 4-2 lead, as Briere left his feet and hit Hannan in the neck with his elbow. There was no penalty assessed to Briere though, as none of the on-ice officials appeared to see the hit.
Briere will miss tomorrow night’s game in NY against the Islanders and Black Friday’s home matinee against his former team, the Buffalo Sabres’. He will be eligible to return on Sunday in Atlanta against the Thrashers.
