Six points in last five games Kuzmenko scored a goal in a 6-3 win over the Oilers on Saturday.

Impact Kuzmenko's goal was his first in orange and black in his second game since being acquired in a trade with the Flames on Jan. 30. He redirected a pass behind Stuart Skinner on a late third-period power play that put Philadelphia up 5-3. Kuzmenko could have some sneaky fantasy value for the remainder of the campaign. He has put up six points (three goals, three assists) and 12 shots in his last five games. He may not be the 74-point producer he was in 2022-23, but Kuzmenko still has excellent offensive instincts.

Impact Kuzmenko's goal was his first in orange and black in his second game since being acquired in a trade with the Flames on Jan. 30. He redirected a pass past Stuart Skinner on a late, third-period power play that put Philly up 5-3. Kuzmenko could have some sneaky fantasy value until season's end. He has put up six points (three goals, three assists) in his last five games (12 shots). He may not be the 74-point guy he was in his first NHL season (2022-23), but Kuzmenko still has great hands.

Earns assist in team debut Kuzmenko logged an assist in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Penguins.

Impact Kuzmenko saw 18:53 of ice time in his Flyers debut and may be in line for a larger role with his new team than he was with the Flames. The 29-year-old winger has 16 points, 40 shots on net and a minus-8 rating over 38 appearances this season. If Kuzmenko sees top-six minutes regularly and doesn't clash with head coach John Tortorella too much, he could be an interesting offense-only addition in fantasy for the remainder of the season.

Ready to rock Kuzmenko (not injury related) is in Philadelphia and is slated to join the lineup versus Pittsburgh on Saturday.

Impact Kuzmenko was dealt to Philadelphia from Calgary on Jan. 30 and had visa issues, as well as a canceled flight from Toronto due to snow Thursday. The 29-year-old had four goals, 11 assists and 39 shots on goal across 37 appearances for the Flames prior to the trade. Look for Jacob Gaucher to return to AHL Lehigh Valley, while Rodrigo Abols could also be sent down to the minors.

Remains out for Thursday's game Kuzmenko (not injury related) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Washington, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Impact Kuzmenko was traded to the Flyers from the Flames last week, but he's been dealing with visa issues in recent days. Head coach John Tortorella said Thursday that Kuzmenko's paperwork is done, but the 29-year-old's flight from Toronto was canceled due to weather. Tortorella is optimistic that Kuzmenko will be available for Saturday's game against the Penguins.

Dealing with visa issues Kuzmenko (not injury related) won't be an option for Sunday's matchup versus Colorado, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Impact Kuzmenko is not on the Flyers' roster yet due to visa issues. Philadelphia acquired the 28-year-old forward from Calgary on Thursday along with Jakob Pelletier as part of a four-player trade involving Joel Farabee and Morgan Frost. Pelletier is on the Flyers' roster, per the NHL media site. Kuzmenko has four goals, 15 points and 39 shots on net through 37 appearances this season.

Involved in four-player trade Kuzmenko was traded to the Flyers from the Flames on Thursday, along with Jakob Pelletier, a 2025 second-round pick and a 2028 seventh-round pick, in exchange for Morgan Frost and...

Impact Kuzmenko is the oldest player in the deal at 28 years old. His Flames tenure lasted about a year -- he was dealt from Vancouver to Calgary on Jan. 31, 2024 -- and he earned 40 points over 66 games in the Flaming C. The likelihood that he comes anywhere near his first NHL campaign, a 39-goal, 74-point effort in 2022-23, is slim, especially in a defense-first system like Philadelphia's. Kuzmenko's noted lack of back-checking could also cause a rift with head coach John Tortorella. Still, Kuzmenko may make rookie phenom Matvei Michkov more comfortable -- the two played together with SKA St. Petersburg of the KHL in 2021-22 before Kuzmenko made the jump to the NHL. They may even play on the same line together with the Flyers, which would be a welcome change for Kuzmenko, who has often been stuck in a bottom-six spot with the Flames this year when he's not in the press box.

Contributes power-play helper Kuzmenko notched a power-play assist and went minus-2 in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Capitals.

Impact Kuzmenko has made the most of this stint in the lineup, racking up five points, including three on the power play, over his last five games. He had been scratched for three contests prior to this productive stretch, and the demotion of Rory Kerins on Monday bodes well for Kuzmenko getting a longer look in the lineup. For the season, Kuzmenko has four goals, 11 helpers, six power-play points, 39 shots on net and a minus-7 rating over 37 appearances.

Three points in Minnesota Kuzmenko scored two goals, one on the power play and the other the game-winner, and added an even-strength assist in Saturday's 5-4 victory over the Wild.

Impact The 28-year-old winger opened the scoring early in the first period by tipping home a Nazem Kadri shot-pass, and Kuzmenko also potted Calgary's final tally late in the third by beating Marc-Andre Fleury to the far post on a wraparound. It's Kuzmenko's first multi-point performance since Oct. 26, and he may be regaining his form after sustaining a lower-body injury in mid-December. On the season, he's managed just four goals and 14 points in 35 appearances.

Strikes on power play in win Kuzmenko scored a power-play goal in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Jets.

Impact Kuzmenko had been scratched for the previous three games and entered Saturday stuck in a six-game point drought. He's struggled to bounce back after a lower-body injury cost him time in December, though he wasn't exactly lighting up the scoresheet before that. The 28-year-old winger has been limited to 11 points, 32 shots on net and a minus-6 rating through 33 appearances. For now, Kuzmenko is in competition with Walker Duehr for the last spot in the lineup.
