Update: Flyers #1 defenseman Joni Pitkanen sat out Wednesday's game with Nashville with a left hip flexor injury. There's no word on how long he'll be out.
Pitkanen has been extremely disappointing so far this season, as he's yet to find the back of the net and has a hideous -14 rating. However, he still has the skills to turn it around, and he's at least produced something offensively (16 assists, 10 PPP) to this point. With the Flyers finally appearing to play better (not necessarily good, but better) hockey in recent weeks, Pitkanen's stock figured to be on the rise.
