Briere goes down again with groin injury

Philadelphia Flyers forward Danny Briere left Thursday's 5-1 loss to the Calgary Flames with a groin injury.

"Right now all we know is that he tweaked his groin again and we'll see how it is tomorrow," said Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren. "For this to come at this point of our season is not good news."

The club had announced last Saturday that Briere was activated from injured reserve after missing 36 games with the lingering effects of a groin strain, which included exploratory surgery back on January 22.

In 11 games this season, Briere has picked up five goals and nine points. Since coming back to the lineup for Tuesday's 4-1 win at Boston, the 31-year-old has yet to record a point.

The Flyers next hit the ice on Saturday, welcoming the Nashville Predators.
