Flyers' Andrej Meszaros Needs Back Surgery, Possibly Out For Season

Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Andrej Meszaros needs surgery to remove a small disc fragment from his lower back, according to FOX Sports. He will miss 6-8 weeks.

The team has announced that Meszaros will have his operation Wednesday in Philadelphia. His season is likely over unless the Flyers make a deep run in the Eastern Conference playoffs this spring.

The 26-year-old Meszaros last played for the Flyers on March 1 against the New York Islanders. He's averaged nearly 21 minutes per game this season, compiling seven goals and 18 assists.
