VOORHEES, N.J., Jan. 19 (UPI) -- The Philadelphia Flyers announced Monday that goaltender Jeff Hackett is being treated for vertigo.
They salso reported defenseman Marcus Ragnarsson is out up to two weeks with a sprained left shoulder.
Hackett is questionable to back up Robert Esche on Tuesday against the Montreal Canadiens. He last played a week ago in a 6-2 loss to the Buffalo Sabres.
The Flyers said Hackett is undergoing treatment for vertigo, a false sensation of motion or spinning that leads to dizziness and discomfort.
Signed in the offseason, Hackett is 10-10-6 with a 2.39 goals-against average and .905 save percentage.
Goalie Antero Niittymaki was opposite Esche in Monday morning's practice.
Ragnarsson suffered his injury in Saturday's win at Toronto, becoming the third Philadelphia defenseman to get hurt in the last week.
Acquired from San Jose in December 2002, Ragnarsson has three goals, seven assists and plus-4 rating in 43 games.
