Flyers defenseman Matt Carle is out of the lineup tonight with a bone bruise in his foot.

Like Jeff Carter, he blocked a shot, although the injury is not as severe.

Still, it's enough to keep hm out of the lineup in a must win situation against Minnesota.

Lukas Krajicec is back in the the rotation, replacing Carle and playing with Kimmo Timonen. Braydon Coburn replaces Carle on the top pairing with Chris Pronger while Ryan Parent and Oskars Bartulis remain the third pair.

Speaking of Carter, he'll have a permanent screw surgically inserted into his left foot tomorrow to help heal a fracture in his arch. The surgery could expedite his return to the lineup.

Also, once again there are new lines.

They are:

Hartnell-Richards-Carcillo
Gagne-Briere-Leino
van Riemsdyk -Giroux-Powe
Asham-Betts-Laperriere
