"It could have been a lot worse for Chris Pronger.

As it is, the Flyers' captain is expected to miss up to two weeks after taking a stick to the right eye during Monday's 4-2 win over Toronto at Wells Fargo Center.

"It's a very scary incident for Chris and all of us to come off the ice like that," general manager Paul Holmgren said. "He had a little bit of a cut on the outside of the right eye. The eye doctor [Stephen Goldman] checked him out thoroughly.

"He's got a little bit of an issue with his eye. Over the next three or four days, no real concern other than swelling or something behind the eye. He's going to be on bed rest for the next three days."
