The Flyers announced today that goaltender Ray Emery will undergo surgery Wednesday to repair a torn muscle in his lower abdominal wall and is expected to be out for approximately six weeks, according to club General Manager Paul Holmgren. Dr. William Meyers, from Hahnemann University Hospital will be performing the surgery. Emery, 27, has an 11-8-1 record with a 2.83 goals-against average and .901 save percentage, including one shutout, in 21 appearances with the Flyers this season. With Emery out, the Flyers might look to bring Marty Biron back from the New York Islanders. Biron is making $1.4 million, slightly less than Emery's $1.5 million, and could be expendable with Rick DiPietro scheduled to come back this week after a lengthy stay on the injured list
