Roussel was released from his tryout with the Flyers on Thursday, Adam Kimelman of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Roussel has appeared in 607 games over the course of his 10-year NHL career with stops in Dallas, Vancouver and Arizona. Given his experience, the veteran winger may still be able to land a permanent deal in the NHL this season but otherwise may have to settle for a move overseas for the first time in his professional career.

Roussel signed a professional tryout agreement with the Flyers on Monday, RDS.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Roussel spent last season with the Coyotes, for whom he logged 53 games and tallied four goals, four assists and 74 hits. The gritty winger should be a fan favorite if he can secure a permanent contract but may need to settle for a two-way contract that would see him spend time in the minors.

Roussel provided an assist and two hits in Friday's 5-4 win over the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Roussel closed out 2021-22 with a goal and an assist in his last three games. The French winger was limited to 53 games this season, logging eight points, 59 shots on net, 59 PIM and 74 hits in a bottom-four role. He's still effective as an agitator, but single-digit point totals are unlikely to interest many fantasy managers. He's set to be an unrestricted free agent this summer.

Roussel scored a goal in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
Roussel's goal was his first point in four contests since returning from a lower-body injury. The 32-year-old has found more success as an agitator than a scorer -- he's at seven points, 54 shots on net, 55 PIM and 71 hits in 51 appearances. The French winger will likely stick in the lineup to end the year as injuries have decimated the Coyotes' already thin depth.

Roussel (lower body) is on track to be activated off injured reserve and return to the lineup Wednesday versus Chicago, Arizona Coyotes Insider Craig Morgan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Roussel should return to a bottom-six role following his six-week absence. The 32-year-old vet has collected six points through 47 contests this campaign.

Roussel is expected to miss six weeks from Tuesday due to a lower-body injury.
EDGE Analysis
Roussel suffered the lower-body injury in Saturday's game against Ottawa. The 32-year-old has averaged 11:56 of ice time and registered six points over 47 appearances this season. His most recent point was an assist in a 2-1 victory over Colorado on Thursday.

Roussel logged an assist and two PIM in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
Roussel set up Loui Eriksson for the game-tying goal at 18:11 of the second period. The 32-year-old Roussel had gone 12 games without a point since returning from the COVID-19 protocols Jan. 28. The pesky winger has six points, 55 PIM and 64 hits through 46 contests, but his limited bottom-six role won't attract much attention in fantasy.

Roussel (not injury related) will be in the lineup to face the Bruins on Friday, per NHL.com.
EDGE Analysis
Roussel returns following a four-game stint on the sidelines in the COVID-19 protocols. Considering the forward is stuck in a 15-game goal drought during which he has managed just two helpers, few fantasy players are likely to be impacted by his return to action.

Roussel (not injury-related) departed the NHL's COVID-19 protocols but is not expected to play Tuesday against Pittsburgh, Arizona Coyotes Insider Craig Morgan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Roussel is expected to miss a fourth consecutive game after missing three while in the COVID-19 protocols. The 32-year-old has averaged 11:54 of ice time and recorded one assist over his last 10 appearances. Liam O'Brien has seen slightly expanded minutes over the first three games of Roussel's absence.

Roussel entered the NHL's COVID-19 protocols Tuesday, Arizona Coyotes Insider Craig Morgan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Roussel will need to submit two negative COVID-19 tests before rejoining the lineup, so he'll miss Wednesday's game versus the Devils at a minimum. The 32-year-old winger has only picked up five points while posting an ugly minus-13 rating through 33 games this season, so fantasy managers shouldn't need to monitor his status.
