Flaws:	Is somewhat inconsistent in all areas of the game. Doesn't use his 6-1 frame enough to gain the upper hand on opponents in the defensive zone.
Career Potential:	Puck-moving depth defenseman.

Gervais to undergo surgery, out indefinitely | 04/16/2013 3:09 PM

News

Bruno Gervais will undergo surgery to repair a torn stomach muscle and will be sidelined indefinitely.

NHL.com

Impact

It's not clear when Gervais suffered the injury but it shouldn't affect fantasy lineup given his minimal production. Gervais will likely miss the remainder of the season. He has one goal and six points in 37 points this season.

Sam Carchidi Twitter

Impact

He will not suit up against the Bruins. We trust this does not crush your fantasy team hopes this weekend.

Bruno Gervais has fit in nicely with Flyers | 02/06/2013 3:37 PM

News

Bruno Gervais was a healthy scratch for Philadelphia's opening two games, but he has played in eight straight since then.

Philadelphia Inquirer & Daily News

Impact

"It seems like he's fit right in and he understands the way we've wanted to play," coach Peter Laviolette said. "He skates well. He's constantly looking to add to the back end of the rush. He's been a really steady player for us, night in and night out, since he's been in the lineup." He has goal, 12 shots and a minus-3 rating on the year.
