from Frank Seravalli of Grequent Flyers,

Vinny Lecavalier underwent an x-ray in Dallas, and the Flyers didn’t like what the images showed.

So, they shipped Lecavalier back to Philadelphia yesterday to undergo an MRI and have the results read by a team physician. They were equally discouraging.

Lecavalier will miss at least the next three to four weeks with a non-displaced fracture in his lower-back, according to Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren. The injury was suffered late in the third period against Nashville on Nov. 30.
