Kevin Hoffman-USA TODAY Sports / USA TODAY Sports

Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Nick Schultz is expected to miss the next four-to-seven days of training camp.

The 34-year-old will be sidelined after suffering a lower-body injury in Tuesday's preseason game against the New York Islanders, general manager Ron Hextall confirmed on Wednesday.

The injury shouldn't keep Schultz out of any regular-season games, with the team not opening the season until Oct. 14 against the Los Angeles Kings.

Schultz played in all but one game for the Flyers last season, contributing one goals and 10 points from the back end.
