Rasmus Ristolainen

Interim coach Mike Yeo confirmed Saturday what was expected: goalie Carter Hart, right winger Cam Atkinson, forward Patrick Brown, and defensemen Rasmus Ristolainen, Cam York, and Kevin Connauton will miss the rest of the Philadelphia Flyers’ season.

Ristolainen (upper body) won't return this season, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports. Although Ristolainen won't be available for the final four games of the campaign, at this point there's no reason to believe he won't be ready for next season's training camp. He'll finish the year having picked up 16 points and a whopping 230 hits through 66 contests.

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Another former Buffalo Sabres player has put his Waterfront Village townhouse on the market. Rasmus Ristolainen, a defenseman and former first-round pick of the Sabres, has listed his three-bedroom townhouse at 51 Ojibawa Circle for $1.1 million, according to a listing by Erica Kane, a broker with Gurney Becker & Bourne, that went live April 13.

Ristolainen (upper body) is considered out indefinitely, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports. The Flyers are hopeful Ristolainen will be able to return before the end of the season, but it's safe to assume he'll miss a handful of contests at a minimum. The 27-year-old defender has picked up 16 points, 230 hits and 125 blocks through 66 games this campaign.

Ristolainen will be sidelined versus the Rangers on Wednesday with an upper-body injury. Ristolainen is bogged down in a 13-game pointless streak during which he has registered 36 hits, 25 blocks and 19 shots while averaging 21:14 of ice time. With the 27-year-old netminder sidelined, the Flyers recalled Egor Zamula from the minors in order to fill out the lineup against New York.

Ristolainen, 27, was scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent this summer. His new deal represents a slight decrease from the $5.4 million he received per season after signing a six-year, $32.4 million contract prior to the 2016-17 campaign.

Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports that the two sides are grinding toward a contract that would carry an average annual value of around $5M. Darren Dreger of TSN tweets that the contract is expected to be five years in length and will be a $5.1M AAV. PuckPedia has the full breakdown:
