Flyer lose Hatcher for regular season: Flyers defenseman Derian Hatcher will be out for the season after fracturing his right tibia in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Boston Bruins. Hatcher was hurt with 12:07 left in the first period when he blocked a slap shot by Bruins forward Andrew Ference. Hatcher, who has already missed a good portion of the season with knee problems, was helped off the ice and did not return. (Updated 03/17/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
Hatcher's leg was broken just above the ankle and was placed in a cast on Saturday. It is possible he might return to play if the Flyers make the postseason. Hatcher, who recently came back to play after missing three weeks with a sore right knee, has two goals and five assists in 44 games this season. He is without a point in the last nine games. Hatcher is at that point in his career where his presence is far more valuable to his real team than Fantasy owners. (Updated 03/17/2008).
