SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) — Florida goalie Chris Driedger will miss several weeks with what’s believed to be a groin injury, the latest health issue at that position for the Panthers.
The Panthers announced the diagnosis Saturday, calling it a lower-body injury.
Driedger was hurt midway through the first period of the Panthers’ 4-3 win over the Los Angeles Kings on Thursday. He is 5-2-0 in nine appearances for Florida this season, with a 2.48 GAA.
The Panthers have also been without goalie Sergei Bobrovsky for much of January while he recovers from an upper-body injury.
