Jakub Voracek was seen in a walking boot over the weekend, spreading our worst fears that the Flyers’ top-line winger could miss significant time with the injury. But, it’s not so bad.
Per #Flyers GM Ron Hextall, Jake Voracek will be out approximately two weeks.

Two weeks could be much worse, of course. He’ll be back for the final four-ish weeks of the regular season, and hopefully the Flyers can keep close in the playoff race until then. That starts tonight against the Calgary Flames, where the Flyers enter the evening just three points back of the final wild card spot in the Eastern Conference.
Games within the next two weeks: CGY, EDM, CBJ, TB (x2), FLA. Next week could be tough w/o Jake, so PHI needs to rack up points in next 3.
