Posts helper in win Atkinson notched an assist in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Golden Knights.

Impact Atkinson was a healthy scratch versus the Canucks on Tuesday before drawing back into the lineup in a bottom-six role Thursday. The 35-year-old winger appears to be competing with Conor Sheary for one spot in the lineup currently. Atkinson's helper was his first point in two appearances, and he's added two shots on net. He's not a physical player and probably won't feature on the power play, so he has limited fantasy upside at this stage of his career.

Secures one-year deal Atkinson signed a one-year, $900,000 contract with Tampa Bay on Tuesday.

Impact After missing the entirety of the 2022-23 season due to injuries, Atkinson generated 13 goals and 28 points in 70 regular-season contests with the Flyers in 2023-24. Philadelphia bought Atkinson out of the final campaign of his seven-year, $41.125 million contract in June. However, he has some bounce-back upside as a middle-six forward option for the Lightning.

Returning to lineup Saturday Atkinson will be back in the lineup in Boston on Saturday, per Bill Meltzer of NHL.com.

Impact Atkinson has been a healthy scratch the last two games. He will replace Bobby Brink in the lineup, as Brink struggled in the Flyers' 6-2 loss to Toronto. Atkinson is pointless in his last 15 games, managing only 22 shots on goal. The former 41-goal scorer has only 13 goals and 15 assists in 62 appearances this season.

Two points in Tuesday's loss Atkinson scored an even-strength goal and added a power-play assist in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Lightning.

Impact Both points came in the second period as the Flyers tried in vain to mount a comeback from an early 3-0 deficit. Atkinson extended his point streak to six games in the process, a stretch during which the 34-year-old winger has produced five goals and 10 points. That surge snapped a 26-game goal drought, however, and on the season Atkinson has just 13 goals and 28 points in 47 contests. While his current form makes him worth a roster spot in almost any fantasy format, he should be viewed as a short-term plug-in and not a long-term roster solution.

Three-point effort in loss Atkinson scored a goal and added two assists in Saturday's 7-4 loss to the Avalanche.

Impact The veteran winger did his best to rally his team from a 5-2 deficit heading into the second intermission. Atkinson helped set up Tyson Foerster for a tally early in the third period before tipping home a Rasmus Ristolainen point shot a few minutes later, but that was as close as the Flyers got to tying things up. Atkinson is heating up, producing a four-game point streak in which he's racked up four goals and seven points, but on the season he's managed just 12 goals and 25 points in 45 contests.

Scores two, snaps 26-game drought Atkinson scored twice Saturday in a 2-0 win over the Jets.

Impact It was a statement game for Atkinson, who was a healthy scratch Thursday. His first goal, which was a redirection of Ryan Poehling's shot, was his first goal since Nov. 11. It ended a 26-game goal drought. Atkinson collected a rebound in the low slot on an early second-period power play and tucked it behind Connor Hellebuyck. Fingers crossed the carryover from his healthy scratch lasts a few more games.

Will play Saturday Atkinson will return to the lineup Saturday versus Calgary, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Impact Atkinson was a healthy scratch Thursday as coach John Tortorella was not pleased with his game over the last six weeks. Atkinson has eight goals, 10 assists and 113 shots on goal in 37 games this season, but had only five assists in his past 20 games before the benching. Look for him to return to the second line, alongside Morgan Frost and Tyson Foerster.

Healthy scratch Thursday Atkinson will be a healthy scratch Thursday versus Columbus.

Impact Atkinson had 23 goals and 50 points in 73 contests this season and got off to a great start in 2023-24 with eight goals and 12 points through 15 appearances. However, the 34-year-old forward is on a 22-game goal-scoring drought in which he's registered just six assists. Atkinson will probably draw back into the lineup Saturday versus Calgary, but in the meantime, Rhett Gardner will make his Flyers debut Thursday.
