FEBRUARY 28 • Associated Press

Ends slump with helper Drysdale logged an assist and went minus-2 in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Capitals.

Impact Drysdale had been held off the scoresheet over his last 10 outings, going minus-5 in that span. It's not all his fault -- during his slump, the Flyers were shut out three times and scored just a total of 18 goals. Drysdale is up to 12 points, 40 shots on net, 58 blocked shots and a minus-23 rating over 44 appearances. He hasn't taken a step forward as much as expected, but he has managed to stay in the lineup regularly when healthy despite his shaky defensive play.

Scores, assists in win Drysdale recorded a power-play goal and a power-play assist in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Blues.

Impact Drysdale snapped a four-game pointless streak with his third multi-point effort, although this was the first time he notched a goal and an assist in the same contest. However, Drysdale has cracked the scoresheet in just two of his last 11 games. While he can put up decent numbers from time to time, his lack of consistency as a steady contributor limits his fantasy upside considerably in most formats.

Dishes two assists in win Drysdale notched two assists and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 4-0 win over the Sharks.

Impact Drysdale doubled his point total since he returned from an upper-body injury Dec. 8. The 22-year-old blueliner has four helpers over 11 contests since his return, though he's mainly been stuck on the third pairing. For the season, he has seven points, 23 shots on net, 40 blocked shots and a minus-12 rating through 26 appearances. Without a larger role, his upside is limited, but he is seeing power-play time.

Grabs helper Tuesday Drysdale notched an assist and went plus-3 in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Blue Jackets.

Impact Drysdale has played on the third pairing and second power-play unit since he returned from a 12-game absence due to an upper-body injury. His helper Tuesday was his first point in two contests since his return. Drysdale is at four points, 13 shots on net, 30 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating through 17 outings. He has a bit of scoring upside, but avoiding injuries will be critical for his success -- he's missed significant time in three straight years.

Off injured reserve Drysdale is no longer listed on injured reserve, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Impact Drysdale had missed the Flyers' last 12 games since suffering an upper-body injury on Nov. 9, though it appears the young defenseman is poised to return Sunday against Utah. Drysdale has a goal and three points in 15 games this season.

Considered day-to-day Drysdale (upper body) remains day-to-day while on injured reserve, the Flyers announced Friday.

Impact Drysdale has been out of action since Nov. 9 versus the Panthers, a stretch of 11 games on the shelf due to his upper-body issue. Prior to getting hurt, the blueliner was mired in an 11-game goal drought in action to an eight-game pointless streak. While he has reached the 30-point threshold once in his career, that was back in 2021-22 when he was with the Ducks, so fantasy players probably shouldn't be banking on getting a ton of offensive upside from Drysdale.

Won't play Monday Drysdale won't play in Monday's game against San Jose due to an undisclosed injury, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Impact Drysdale had appeared in each of the Flyers' first 15 games of the regular season, racking up a goal, three points and 28 blocked shots while averaging 20:35 of ice time. However, head coach John Tortorella said Drysdale is "dinged up" ahead of Monday's matchup and will be unavailable for at least one game. It's not yet clear when the 22-year-old blue liner will be able to return, but Erik Johnson will draw into the lineup against the Sharks.

Impact The third-period goal was Drysdale's first point in four games this season. He's added eight blocked shots and a minus-6 rating. He's playing on the third pairing at even strength, though he saw a season-high 20:15 of ice time Thursday. He's also been a factor with the man advantage. Things often change quickly in the Flyers' lineup, and given where Drysdale's at now, he has nowhere to go but up, especially if he can build off his goal.
