Randy Jones to undergo hip surgery

Flyers defenseman Randy Jones will miss up to eight weeks because of a hip injury.

Jones enjoyed a great season with the Flyers last year, recording 31 points and a +8 rating in 71 games.

The Flyers blue line is getting thinner everyday after they lost Ryan Parent for 3 months, also due to an injury.

Expect GM Paul Holmgren to acquire a veteran defenseman to solidify the Flyers' blueline before the season begins.

K. Timonen, B. Coburn, O. Vaananen, S. Eminger, L. Kukkonen and L. Sbisa are currently the six defensemen slated to play in Philly's opener...
