The Philadelphia Flyers are facing a significant setback as defenseman Marc Staal is set for an extended absence. Staal suffered an injury to his ribs, a painful setback for any athlete. Recovery from such an injury is typically uncomfortable and time-consuming, especially with a broken rib.
On a more positive note, Rasmus Ristolainen is expected to make his return to the lineup on Saturday, providing a ray of hope for the Flyers as they navigate through Staal's absence.
The exact timeline for Staal's recovery is estimated to be between 4 to 6 weeks. Flyers fans will be eagerly awaiting his return to the ice. #LetsGoFlyers.
