Chris Pronger will miss the next four weeks after undergoing knee surgery.
Yes, Pronger had reportedly been sidelined since November 19th because of a virus. As it turns out, Pronger had also been suffering from a knee injury and while the team hoped it would solve itself while Pronger was recovering from the illness, they ultimately decided that surgery was the best option available to them. Unfortunately, this is not the first time that the Flyers have painted an injury as minor, only for it to turn out to be much worse. However, this might be the first incident of a Flyers player being reported as out with a virus before ultimately undergoing knee surgery.
