The Philadelphia Daily News reports that goaltender Antero Niittymaki returned to practice on Wednesday about two weeks earlier than expected. He had hip surgery earlier in September. "I feel pretty good, not 100 percent, but I'm getting there," Niittymaki said.

Our View:Until he is back to 100 percent, J.S. Aubin will back up starter Martin Biron. he does not have any fantasy value.

Antero Niittymaki will likely miss 4-6 weeks due to hip surgery, according to Hockey Buzz.

Our View:While he certainly wasn't much more than an average tender last season (12-9-2, 2.91 GAA), the Flyers don't have another experienced goalie in camp to backup unquestioned starter Martin Biron meaning they could be looking to add some depth just in case Antero doesn't return as quickly as hoped.

Antero Niittymaki was pulled after allowing four goals on 12 shots in Thursday's loss to the Rangers. The Flyers plan to use Martin Biron Saturday against Anaheim.
