Philadelphia Flyers goaltender Brian Elliott will miss approximately two weeks with an injury he sustained Thursday night against the New Jersey Devils, the Flyers announced Friday.

The club is classifying it as a lower-body ailment.

Elliott was injured on Kyle Palmieri's wraparound goal in the third period.

The Flyers' goaltenders have been plagued by injuries for much of the early portion of the season, with both Elliott and backup Michal Neuvirth missing time.

Elliott started the campaign poorly but had bounced back of late, improving his save percentage to .911 and his goals-against average to 2.59.

Neuvirth is on injured reserve and hasn't played since his lone appearance of the campaign on Oct. 27.
