The Philadelphia Flyers placed defensemen Derian Hatcher and Ryan Parent on the injured reserve list Thursday.

Hatcher is out indefinitely with a right knee injury that could possibly end the 36-year-old's career. Originally taken eighth overall by the Minnesota North Stars in the 1990 draft, Hatcher played in just 44 games last season, netting two goals to go along with five assists.

Parent will be sidelined 12-to-14 weeks with a shoulder injury.

Philadelphia also announced that goaltender Jean-Sebastien Aubin was assigned to the Flyers' American Hockey League affiliate, the Philadelphia Phantoms. The 31-year-old was signed as a free agent last month after backup Antero Niittymaki underwent surgery on his left hip.
