Eric Hartline-USA TODAY Sports

The Philadelphia Flyers announced Thursday that defenseman Andrew MacDonald will be sidelined for about one week with a lower-body injury.

The 30-year-old blue-liner, who's recorded three points in 10 games, split last season between Philadelphia and Lehigh Valley, the club's AHL affiliate.

Defenseman Nick Schultz will draw into the lineup Thursday when the Flyers face the New York Islanders, reports Sam Carchidi of The Philadelphia Inquirer.
