He's suited up in three straight games, logging an assist, three shots on net and 16 hits in that span. The 35-year-old has a total of two assists, 16 shots, 38 PIM, 108 hits and a minus-2 rating over 28 appearances between the Hurricanes and the Flyers this season.

Impact Carolina acquired Deslauriers from Philadelphia on Friday. Skipping the remainder of Carolina's road trip will give the 35-year-old some time to adjust before making his Hurricanes debut, which might come Tuesday versus Pittsburgh. Deslauriers has an assist, 33 PIM and 86 hits in 24 outings with Philadelphia in 2025-26.

Traded to Carolina Deslauriers was dealt to the Hurricanes from the Flyers on Friday for a conditional seventh-round pick in 2027, Charlie O'Connor of AllPHLY.com reports.

Impact Deslauriers is expected to play a fourth-line role in Carolina, similar to his role in Philadelphia. Deslauriers had one assist, 86 hits and 33 PIM in 24 games this season.

Earns first point of season Deslauriers recorded an assist, three hits and two PIM in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Capitals.

Impact Deslauriers' helper came on a Carl Grundstrom goal in the second period. This was Deslauriers' first point, to go with 12 shots on net, 76 hits and 26 PIM, over 21 appearances this season. His struggles on offense have often left him out of the lineup, and one assist is unlikely to change his status as a rotational depth player.

FEBRUARY 4 • ROTOWIRE

Playing time still sparse Deslauriers was scratched for the seventh consecutive game in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Ducks.

Impact Deslauriers has been in a part-time role all season, but the 34-year-old hasn't done anything with his playing time. At the halfway mark of the Flyers' season, he has zero points, seven shots on net, 24 PIM, 56 hits and a minus-3 rating over 16 appearances. Carl Grundstrom has been more effective on the fourth line, and there's even less room for a one-dimensional player like Deslauriers now that the Flyers are giving Denver Barkey a look with the big club.

Lacking offense in part-time role Deslauriers has not recorded a point in his first 10 appearances this season after being held scoreless in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Devils.

Impact Deslauriers has been in a fourth-line role for half of the Flyers' 20 games so far, but he's battling with Nikita Grebenkin for playing time. So far, Deslauriers has four shots on net, a minus-2 rating, 35 hits and 10 PIM. He's a bit of an old-school enforcer who has fallen short of the 10-point mark in each of the last two years. Even his elite physicality isn't much of a help in fantasy when he's not guaranteed a place in the lineup.

Pots rare goal Deslauriers scored a goal and blocked two shots in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Canadiens.

Impact This was Deslauriers' first goal and point in 14 contests in March, and it snapped a 19-game point drought overall. The winger missed roughly two months due to an upper-body injury in that stretch, and he hasn't always been a lock for the lineup since returning. The Flyers are short on healthy bodies and also don't have any more regular recalls available after using their allotted four following the trade deadline. Deslauriers has two points, 15 shots on net, 60 hits and 15 PIM over 24 outings this season.

Likely for uptick in playing time Deslauriers was in the lineup for a fourth straight game in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Kraken.

Impact He's played in seven of 10 games since returning from an upper-body injury. The Flyers traded away forwards Andrei Kuzmenko and Scott Laughton at Friday's deadline, opening up more playing time in the bottom six for Deslauriers, though he's unlikely to do much with it. For the season, Deslauriers has just one assist over 14 games while adding 32 hits, 15 PIM and nine shots on net in a fourth-line role.

MARCH 9, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared to return Deslauriers (upper body) will be back in the lineup versus Utah on Tuesday, Charlie O'Connor of PHLY Sports reports.

Impact Deslauriers' return to action comes as both Owen Tippett (upper body) and Rasmus Ristolainen (upper body) were ruled out for Tuesday's tilt. The Flyers will have to play without any emergency depth options unless Andrei Kuzmenko or Jakob Pelletier get their visas squared away prior to puck drop. For his part, Deslauriers figures to step into a bottom-six role against Utah.

Resumes skating Deslauriers (upper body) skated before Monday's practice, Adam Kimelman of NHL.com reports.

Impact Deslauriers will miss his 36th straight game against New Jersey on Monday. He moved to injured reserve, retroactive to Nov. 9, in early December, and there haven't been many updates on his status. It remains unclear when he will be available to return to the lineup. Deslauriers has one assist, four shots on goal and 15 hits in seven appearances this season.
