Lindros Cleared, Might Play Today
Eric Lindros, the Philadelphia Flyers’ star center, has been cleared to play and could return as soon as today.
“When he feels ready to play, he’ll play,” Flyer spokesman Joe Klueg said.
Lindros has been sidelined the first 22 games because of a nagging groin injury he suffered at the World Cup of Hockey in September. Dr. Arthur Bartolozzi examined him again Wednesday and declared him ready to play.
