    PHILADELPHIA (AP)—Flyers goalie Ray Emery(notes) will undergo surgery Wednesday to repair a torn muscle in his lower abdomen, and is expected to miss about six weeks.

    Philadelphia general manager Paul Holmgren made the announcement Tuesday night before the Flyers played the New York Islanders.

    The Flyers, who lost five straight and eight of nine, recalled goalie Johan Backlund(notes) from the Adirondack Phantoms, but will rely heavily on Brian Boucher(notes).

    Emery hadn’t been playing well, and was pulled from Saturday’s game against the Washington Capitals after allowing five goals.

    Holmgren said the injury played a part in Emery’s slump.

    “You know how hard he practices,” Holmgren said. “He’s been trying to fight through this, but couldn’t practice the way he normally does, and his game suffered. He’s a down young man, and feels he let his team down.”

    The Flyers were aware of the injury since November, Holmgren said, and tried rehabilitation and cortisone injections. However, Emery’s condition deteriorated to the point where surgery became the only option.

    “It has gotten progressively worse,” Holmgren said. “The tests and the MRI we’ve done showed a tear in his abdominal wall.”

    Emery, 27, is 11-8-1 with a 2.83 goals-against average and .901 save percentage, including one shutout, in 21 appearances this season—his first with Philadelphia. Flyers forward Simon Gagne(notes) underwent a similar procedure last month.

    The slumping Flyers have fallen into last place in the Atlantic Division, which led to the firing of coach John Stevens last week and the hiring of Peter Laviolette.

    “It’s no fun being around here right now, for any of us,” Holmgren said. “The players certainly want to get out of this sooner rather than later. The one good thing about our sport, especially now, is that we have games every other day, so there’s always something (to work through).”

    Kicking some Islander butt tonight. Get out of the basement Flyers!

    that sucks about Emery. at least we have something to blame for his bad goaltending as of late.

    Bobby has looked good when given the chance. hopefully, he will continue to excel.

    tonight was sorely needed.

    They actually looked like a team last night. Now if we can get the whole play for 60 minutes thing down, we might have something. The next stretch of games will be a big test with 12 in 21 days and your backup goalie leading the way.
    This is your notice that there is a problem with your signature. Please remove it.

    but considering the way they have been playing the last 15 or so games, it's a bit of a suprise. they still didn't look good.
