November 12, 2009 Flyers' forward Daniel Briere returned to the ice on Thursday and promptly scored two goals to help the team to a 5-1 win over the Senators. Briere hasn't played since October 27 due to a groin injury. Our View:Briere had seven points in ten games before the injury, and he picked up right where he left off tonight. The Flyers have plenty of fire power, and Briere only adds to that offensive talent. Expect plenty of scoring as long as he stays healthy. |
|
November 7, 2009 Daniel Briere (groin) will sit out again on Saturday, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer. Our View:This will be the fourth straight game he misses with the lingering injury. He should still be considered day-to-day. |
|
November 6, 2009 Daniel Briere (groin) will not be returning to the Flyers lineup on Friday as originally expected, according to the Philadelphia Daily News. Our View:He has missed two games so far with the injury. He should be considered day-to-day. |
|
November 1, 2009 Center Daniel Briere should be able to return to the Flyers on Friday, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer. He is dealing with a strained groin. Our View:Briere has converted 19.2 percent of his shots for goals this season. He currently has five goals through 10 games, but carries a minus-5 rating. |
|
October 31, 2009 TSN.ca is reporting that Flyers' forward Daniel Briere is day-to-day with a groin injury. Briere has already been ruled out of Saturday afternoon's game against the Carolina Hurricanes. Our View:The injury bug has found the Flyers, as Briere and Simon Gagne are both sidelined with groin issues. Briere should be able to return next week, but he won't be of any use to fantasy owners today for sure. |
|
October 24, 2009 Daniel Briere scored a pair of goals and added an assist in Saturday's 5-1 blowout of the Panthers. Our View:One of Briere's two goals came on the power play and he now has five goals on the season (two with the man advantage). If he can remain healthy he's a solid fantasy performer, but he played in just 29 games a year ago. |
|
September 19, 2009 Daniel Briere scored a pair of goals in the Flyers 5-4 overtime loss to the Maple Leafs on Saturday night. Our View:Briere will be looking to get back on track this season after playing in just 29 games last year due to injury. He has the ability and if he can stay healthy he'll be a great fantasy play that you can get later in the draft. |
|
May 19, 2009 Daniel Briere underwent successful corrective eye surgery today, according to TSN. Surgeon Michael Fung said, "Everything went well. It went as expected with no problems or complications. Danny tolerated the surgery well and went home with his wife this morning. He will feel irritation in both eyes for the next couple of days and we will see how he is feeling next week." Our View:Briere should be fine for training camp after recovering from his minor eye procedure. |
|
May 18, 2009 SI.com is reporting that Daniel Briere will have corrective eye sugery called photorefractive keratectomy because his contact lenses started to bother him during the season.

|
April 25, 2009 Daniel Briere registered a goal and an assist in the Flyers final game of their season as they fell 5-3 to Pittsburgh on Saturday.

The center had two assists and no goals in Philly's first five games. |
|
April 12, 2009 Daniel Briere tallied a goal and an assist but the Flyers fell to New York 4-3 on Sunday. The center finished the game as a plus-2 in 17:05 of ice-time. Our View:Briere saw some action on the power-play, but both of his points came at even-strength. The center has nine points in his last six games. |
|
April 9, 2009 Daniel Briere scored his 10th goal of the season in Philadelphia's 2-1 loss to the Rangers on Thursday.

He has points in eight of his last 11 games, while the team hasn't won back-to-back games since March 23. |
|
April 3, 2009 Daniel Briere had easily his best game of the season Friday, recording four points on a goal and a trio of assists in Philadelphia's 8-5 pummeling of the Maple Leafs. Our View:Briere assisted on two of Jeff Carter's three goals. Despite the fact they both play the same position, head coach John Stevens seems to relish putting them on the same line, which could ultimately mean good things for the Flyers' offense come playoff time. |
|
March 29, 2009 Daniel Briere collected his eighth assist of the season Sunday against Boston in a 4-3 loss. Our View:Briere is owned in 70 percent of leagues, which may seem low, but the number speaks to the wealth of talent the Flyers have up front.

|
March 23, 2009 Daniel Briere collected two points on a goal and an assist as Philadelphia picked up an important 4-2 home victory over Eastern Conference rival New Jersey. Our View:It appears Briere is starting to get his conditioning back and adjust to the speed of the game. Upon his latest return from a groin injury on Mar. 12, Briere went four games without a point, but since has tallied five points in his past three games. |
|
March 20, 2009 Daniel Briere scored for the first time in nearly four and a half months Friday when he netted his sixth of the season in second period versus the Sabres. He would score two minutes later to cap off a two-goal night in Philadelphia's 6-4 win. Our View:Just five games into his latest return from a severe groin injury, Briere is already owned in 60 percent of leagues, which means there's still time to claim him before he goes on an inevitable scoring tear. |
|
March 11, 2009 Daniel Briere will return to the ice on Thursday against the Capitals, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer. He is dealing with a sore groin. Our View:If the forward is available, there's a good possibility that he could provide some punch down the stretch for your fantasy roster. The 31-year-old knows how to put points up, and he already had nine points through his first 12 games this season. |
|
March 10, 2009 Forward Daniel Briere was held out of Tuesday's game against Buffalo by head coach John Stevens, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer. Stevens said that with a solid practice tomorrow, Briere may be available against Washington on Thursday. Our View:Doctors have given Briere the green light to start playing again, but with the Flyers entering a stretch of five games in eight days, Stevens wanted to play it safe. |
|
March 10, 2009 Daniel Briere is questionable for tonight's game against the Sabres, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer. He has been recovering from a groin injury. Our View:Briere will be a game-time call, and should remain held out of fantasy lineups until he proves to be healthy and productive again. |
|
March 8, 2009 Daniel Briere remains on pace to return to the ice Tuesday against the Sabres, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer. He is recovering from a groin injury. Our View:The star center should remain held out of fantasy lineups until he proves to be healthy and productive again. |
|
March 6, 2009 Daniel Briere is day-to-day while recovering from his groin ailment, according to the Associated Press. Our View:The adhesions broke from his last groin surgery and there was some internal bleeding. Briere's surgeon told him that was usual and the star center could possibly play Tuesday against the Sabres at the Wachovia Center. Hold him out of lineups for Saturday's outing with Nashville. |
|
March 1, 2009 Forward Daniel Briere is expected to make his official return to the lineup Sunday against New Jersey, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Our View:Briere has played in only nine games this season and has been out since Dec. 2 with groin and abdominal injuries. |
|
February 27, 2009 Daniel Briere is likely to return to the ice tonight against the Canadiens at the Wachovia Center, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer. He has been recovering from groin surgery.

|
February 26, 2009 Daniel Briere is expected to return to the lineup on Friday and the Flyers cleared some cap room to prepare for his return. The Flyers waived center Glen Metropolit and defenseman Ossi Vaananen, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer. Our View:Expect nothing but solid play from Briere, who has been limited to just nine games this season. Briere still has big game skills and if he is 100 percent when he returns he will be a fantasy factor. |
|
February 23, 2009 Center Daniel Briere's return has been pushed back to Friday, according to TSN. He has not played since December 2 when he injured his groin. Our View:There's a small chance that he plays on Wednesday, but it is a long shot at this point. The Flyers invested $52 million in Briere last offseason, but he has only managed nine games played this season. Expect him to make up for the lost time with some strong play down the stretch. |
|
February 21, 2009 General manager Paul Holmgren said that forward Daniel Briere should return, as expected, to the Flyers' lineup Wednesday against the Kings, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer. Our View:The Flyers need to clear $2.5 million worth of cap room to fit Briere on the roster, which means Darroll Powe will likely be reassigned to the AHL. |
|
February 18, 2009 Daniel Briere (groin surgery) is nearing his return to the ice and he believes he may be ready before his previous target date of February 25, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer. Our View:The Flyers' star center could be back in action by this time next week, but may need a few games to get back into form. |
|
February 12, 2009 The Associated Press reports that forward Daniel Briere practiced with the team on Wednesday for the first time since undergoing surgery on his groin three weeks ago.

Our View:Briere said he hopes to be back in the Flyers' lineup by Feb.24, when the team faces Washington. Despite his limited playing time this season, Briere has shown what kind of offensive force he can be, tallying nine points in nine games. Expect him to return close to that form once he gets his conditioning back. |
|
February 10, 2009 Daniel Briere, who is recovering from groin surgery, is aiming to return to the ice February 25 against the Kings at the Wachovia Center, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.

|
January 28, 2009 Daniel Briere is progressing in his recovery from surgery on his groin and stomach, according to the Philadelphia Daily News.

|

|

|

|
January 19, 2009 The Sports Ticker reports that Philadelphia's Daniel Briere is ready to return to the lineup after missing 29 of his last 30 games with a strained groin. "So far, it's looking good," Briere said. "I'm confident for Wednesday." Our View:The Flyers will play Atlanta at home on Wednesday. Briere, who posted nine points in nine games before going down, figures to give a shot in the arm to a Philly offense that already ranks fourth in goals scored in the Eastern Conference. |
|
January 16, 2009 The Flyers hope Daniel Briere can return to their lineup next Wednesday against the Thrashers, according to the Philadelphia Daily News.

|
January 14, 2009 Daniel Briere had a goal and an assist in his first of two games with Philadelphia's AHL affiliate, the Associated Press reports. Our View:Out of action with a groin strain since Dec. 2, Briere will finish his AHL conditioning stint Friday before reuniting with the Flyers. |
