Umberger (lower-body) still has about a week left to recover from his injury and will not play on Monday against the Hurricanes, Ray Moffo of 1360 WNJC reports.
EDGE Analysis
Assuming Umberger will not return early, he will miss four additional games for the Flyers this week. His next chance to return will be next week Tuesday against the Senators. The 33-year-old veteran has totaled four points in 11 games this season.

Umberger (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Umberger was given a 1-to-2 week recovery timetable Thursday, so it's hardly surprising that the Flyers have opted to place the veteran winger on injured reserve in order to open up a roster spot while he's sidelined.

Umberger will be sidelined for 1-to-2 weeks with a lower-body injury.
EDGE Analysis
Umberger missed Tuesday's tilt against the Avalanche with a lower-body injury, and is now expected to be sidelined for the next 1-to-2 weeks with the same ailment that appears to be far more serious than initially expected. At the very least, Umberger won't be ready to draw back into the Flyers' lineup until next Thursday's matchup with San Jose.

Umberger (upper body) was not part of the Flyers' lines at practice Monday, making it unlikely that he will play Tuesday against the Stars, Sam Carchidi of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Umberger was at practice Monday, but he was the extra on the fourth line. As a result it seems likely that he'll once again sit out Tuesday. Umberger said that he expected to return for Tuesday's contest initially, so it's possible he will simply be a healthy scratch. However, the Flyers do play again Wednesday, so it's possible the team will just give him an added rest day in preparation for a return Wednesday.

Umberger (upper body) expects to return for Tuesday's contest against the Stars, CSN Philadelphia reports.
EDGE Analysis
Umberger has already missed two games with the ailment, but skated on his own Friday and was later able to be a partial participant in the team's practice. The Flyers have nearly a week off in between games, so the extended time off should help, but if he's unable to go Tuesday, Umberger could be back Wednesday against the Bruins.

Umberger (upper body) remains out for Wednesday's game against the Blackhawks, Bill Meltzer of HockeyBuzz.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Umberger missed Monday's game with the same injury and should once again be replaced by Sam Gagner in the lineup. He has two assists and a plus-1 rating in two games this season for the Flyers.
