Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren said on Wednesday the injury was significant and was expected to miss at least a month. Briere left Tuesday night's win over Tampa Bay after the second period after missing the previous nine games with a groin strain.

Briere has five goals and nine points in only nine games for the Flyers this season.
