• Flyers' Knuble to miss at least two games

  
  

  Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - Philadelphia Flyers forward Mike Knuble is expected to miss at least the final two games of his club's Eastern Conference quarterfinal series with a hamstring injury.

  Knuble, who won Game 4 with a double-overtime goal on Thursday, slid awkwardly while trying to block a shot late in the second period of Saturday's 3-2 Washington Capitals win in Game 5. He appeared to catch his leg in a rut on the ice while sliding, and was quickly escorted to the locker room for evaluation.

  The 35-year-old has been a major factor in his team's success this postseason, collecting two goals and three assists through the first four contests.

  The Flyers hold a 3-2 series advantage with Game 6 scheduled for Monday in Philadelphia. Should the Capitals win, a deciding Game 7 takes place on Tuesday in Washington.
