As dire as things sounded Thursday night when Flyers general manager Ron Hextall said that it appeared Braydon Coburn was going to miss a decent amount of games, the news got better on Friday.

Hextall told reporters that Coburn's injury does not appear to be as serious as presumed, based on initial reports. The Flyers defenseman still has to see a specialist on Monday.

Coburn is on crutches, suggesting a knee or leg injury.

The Flyers are 0-2 and facing Montreal on Saturday at Wells Fargo Center.
