Philadelphia center Daniel Briere is eyeing to return this Friday night when the Flyers host the Montreal Canadians of Canada.

Briere has missed 33 games this year with groin injuries.  In the nine games Daniel has played in this season, he registered five goals and four assists.  If you do the math, that’s averaging a point per game.  Philadelphia center Theo Ratliff also averages a point per game.  Daniel and Theo will most likely be used on separate lines.

“We had a pretty hard skate there at the end and we’ll see tomorrow how it reacts,” Briere said. “Last week, after Wednesday’s skate, the next couple of days were a little tougher. I’m hoping that I’m going to pull over that hump, and even through a tough practice and tough skate, I can recuperate and be fine the next day.”

The Flyers are completely flying under the radar right now in the NHL and there is no team that wants to face them in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, and with Briere coming back, it only creates more fear in the Eastern Conference.
