"Erik Gustafsson is likely going to remember his plus-6 outing against the Columbus Blue Jackets for years to come for something other than just having a career performance in the game just 12 days ago.

The 22-year-old defenseman injured his wrist that game, then missed three games trying to rehab, and finally had surgery Thursday morning.

He will miss six weeks, according to general manager Paul Holmgren. Up until now, the Flyers had been mum on his status."
