"The worst thing that can happen to a hockey team is to sail through training camp unscathed, then come down to the final week and get crushed by injuries and suspensions.

That's what happened to the Flyers, who are now without three players in the final week of camp.

Brayden Schenn, who has an upper body injury, is now joined by James van Riemsdyk (sources say he has a groin pull) and Andreas Nodl, who has a lower-body injury.

None of the three is expected to play in Thursday's home exhibition game against New Jersey. Nodl is possible for Thursday, general manager Paul Holmgren said."
