Flyers' Jakub Voracek: Comes up lame in practice Thursday

Voracek left Thursday's practice prematurely due to an undisclosed injury, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Analysis:

At this point, it's anyone's guess if this ailment is related to the one that resulted in Voracek leaving a practice session earlier in the week after a puck "deflected off his groin." The veteran playmaker logged 18:32 of ice time in Wednesday's loss to the Capitals, which was about a full minute less than his season average. He also struggled to a minus-3 rating in that contest, though it's tough to tell if that was the direct result of the injury since he's gone minus-20 on the year. At any rate, Voracek is considered day-to-day ahead of Saturday's road game against the Penguins.
