Inside the Flyers: Catching up with the Flyers during the lockout

While the NHL season has gone dark, most of the Flyers (remember them?) are spread around the world, earning paychecks and fine-tuning their games in case the lockout - which is in its 78th day - ever ends.

Here is an update on how some of the Flyers, listed alphabetically, have been spending their spare time:

Marc-Andre Bourdon. A candidate for a spot on the Flyers' third defensive pairing, he has steadied his game with the AHL Adirondack Phantoms (minus-2 rating going into the weekend).

Danny Briere. The veteran center has looked in playoff form in Germany (23 points in 13 games).

Ilya Bryzgalov. The 32-year-old goalie has struggled in the KHL as a backup, compiling a 2.83 goals-against average and .894 save percentage for CSKA Moscow.

Braydon Coburn. He spent several weeks training with other NHL players in Western Canada but returned to the area to play in the recent benefit game in Atlantic City.

Sean Couturier. After a quality rookie season, Couturier seemed ready for a breakout year. With Adirondack, he had six goals and 15 points in 16 games.

Bruno Gervais. The first-year Flyer, who has lots of competition for the sixth 'D' spot, recently joined a team in Germany.

Claude Giroux. A neck injury that is not reported to be serious sent Giroux to Georgia for treatment after he had 19 points, including 15 assists, in nine games in Germany.

Nick Grossmann. He began playing recently in Sweden as Matt Read's teammate, trying to show he is 100 percent recovered from a concussion in last season's playoffs.

Erik Gustafsson. He is making a case to be one of the Flyers' top six defensemen when/if play resumes (two goals and 10 points in 18 games with the Phantoms).

Ruslan Fedotenko. Back for another stint with the Flyers (he hopes), Fedotenko had 12 points in his first 22 games in Ukraine.

Scott Hartnell. The all-star winger has been working out in Voorhees and Arizona. He played in the Atlantic City benefit game and is expected to play for a Finland team, one in which he is a minority owner.

Michael Leighton. The backup goalie went back to Ontario to train and try to regain his 2009-10 regular-season form.

Andrej Meszaros. Like teammates Chris Pronger and Andreas Lilja, Meszaros gets paid during the lockout because he was injured before it began. He is rehabbing from a torn right Achilles tendon. Meszaros has made great strides, has resumed skating, and could be ready to play if the NHL resumes.

Chris Pronger. Pronger has moved to St. Louis with his family, and his brilliant career appears over because of a concussion. He has been helping promote a book, Journeyman, by his brother, Sean.

Matt Read. Coming off a terrific rookie season, Read has done well in Sweden, collecting 10 points in his first eight games.

Zac Rinaldo. Rinaldo's goal was to play with more discipline with Adirondack, but he had just two goals and 60 penalty minutes after 18 games.

Brayden Schenn. Ticketed for a spot on the Flyers' second line with Briere and Wayne Simmonds, Schenn topped the Phantoms in goals (nine) and points (22) after 18 games.

Luke Schenn. Brayden's big brother has been working out with other NHL players in British Columbia, preparing for his first season with the Flyers after being acquired from Toronto for James van Riemsdyk.

Tom Sestito. Across the pond, in England, Sestito had eight goals and 18 points in 15 games for Sheffield.

Jody Shelley. Shelley has been a loyal member of a small Flyers group that has been skating (and paying for the ice time) at the club's practice facility in Voorhees.

Wayne Simmonds. After stints in Germany and the Czech Republic, Simmonds returned home to Toronto and then played in the Atlantic City benefit. He said his return from the Czech Republic had "nothing to do" with the racial taunts he received there.

Max Talbot. After joining a Finland team a few weeks ago, Talbot had four points in his first five games.

Kimmo Timonen. He has been working out at the Skate Zone in Voorhees and spending time with his family in Haddonfield. At 37, Timonen wonders if the work stoppage could spell the end of his career.

Jake Voracek. Ready to move to the Flyers' top line with Giroux and Hartnell, Voracek had 11 points in his first 14 games in the KHL.

Eric Wellwood. A healthy scratch for four games because he was unproductive, Wellwood had a goal and five points in his first 14 games with Adirondack.

Harry Zolnierczyk. The speedy winger, who hoped to win a fourth-line spot with the Flyers, had five goals in his first 18 games with the Phantoms.
