Player News

Jody Shelley's hip will need surgery | 02/14/2013 11:55 AM

News

Jody Shelley's hip injury will require surgery.

Philadelphia Inquirer & Daily News

Impact

The date for the procedure hasn't been determined yet and a timetable for his return is uncertain as well. Shelley has played in just one game this season, but he sits often as a healthy scratch. He shouldn't be on your fantasy radar even if you are desperate for penalty minutes.

Jody Shelley placed on injured reserve | 02/12/2013 5:15 PM

News

The Flyers placed Jody Shelley on injured reserve Tuesday due to a hip injury.

Anthony SanFilippo on Twitter

Impact

Shelley hasn't played since Jan. 24 and the Flyers needed to make a corresponding move after calling up Harry Zolnierczyk earlier Tuesday. Shelley has no fantasy value, so this is more of an FYI.

Shelley, Sestito to play Thursday for Flyers | 01/24/2013 7:29 PM

News

Jody Shelley and Tom Sestito are slated to make their season debuts in Philadelphia's lineup on Thursday night.

CSN Philadelphia

Impact

The shorthanded Flyers won't have Scott Hartnell (foot), Brayden Schenn (suspension), Daniel Briere (wrist) ane Zac Rinaldo (thigh) available for Thursday's contest. Shelley and Sestito should bring some grit and fire to the table against Philly's rival, the New York Rangers, especially with the team desperate for a win.
