John LeClair out for a month

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 8 (UPI) -- Philadelphia Flyers left wing John LeClair has suffered his third significant injury in four years, a broken foot that could sideline him for a month.

LeClair sustained the injury during the team's recent four-day training camp day in West Point, N.Y. X-Rays at the U.S. Military Academy were negative, but LeClair continued to experience discomfort.

On Wednesday, the team took another x-ray, which revealed a fractured fifth metatarsal on the outside of the foot. Team physician Dr. Peter DeLuca said LeClair will miss up to four weeks.

"There's no rehab with this injury," DeLuca said. "It's just a matter of when he's comfortable and how long it takes to heal."
