Philadelphia released Michael Nylander from his tryout contract on Sunday.
A groin injury during camp kept the veteran forward from suiting up in any games. GM Paul Holmgren said he is looking into having Nylander "play at a lower level," so we'll keep you posted if anything happens on that front.

Michael Nylander had a "maintenance day" on Sunday.
He did not participate in on-ice activities due to what is believed to be a minor ailment. Nylander is attending Philadelphia's training camp on a professional tryout, so he will have to impress in exhibition action to land a spot with the club.

Michael Nylander has been invited to attend Philadelphia's training camp on a tryout basis.
He hasn't played in the NHL since 2008-09, but enjoyed success with new Flyers winger Jaromir Jagr when the two of them played in Washington and New York. Nylander sustained a severe spinal injury last October in the AHL and it will be tough for him to land a roster spot with Philadelphia.
