Drysdale (upper body) will be in the lineup against the Islanders on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Drysdale has been out of action since Feb. 25 versus the Penguins, a stretch of 16 games on the shelf due to his upper-body injury. With just one point in his 11 games prior to getting hurt, the blueliner probably shouldn't be expected to offer much in the way of fantasy value moving forward. With Drysdale back in action, Adam Ginning figures to be relegated to the press box or even sent back to AHL Lehigh Valley.

Drysdale (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, per CapFriendly.
EDGE Analysis
Drysdale was already deemed week-to-week, so this move is simply to free up a roster spot for the Flyers. Egor Zamula has the most to gain from Drysdale's absence, as he'll likely absorb Drysdale's power-play ice time while featuring more consistently in the lineup in general.

Drysdale (undisclosed) is week-to-week but could return before the end of the season, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Drysdale took an open-ice hit Sunday against the Penguins and appeared to have injured his shoulder. The 21-year-old injured that same shoulder during the 2022-23 season, limiting him to just eight total games. Drysdale has four points in 17 games since being acquired by the Flyers. In his absence, Egor Zamula should see more consistent playing time.

Drysdale (undisclosed) left Sunday's game against the Penguins with an injury, Kevin Kurz of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Drysdale appeared to be favoring his left shoulder after taking a hit from Jansen Harkins. Drysdale logged just 10:39 of ice time prior to leaving the game. There was no update available but there should be more information on his injury before Tuesday's tilt with Tampa Bay.

Drysdale scored a goal on two shots in Monday's 5-3 win over the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
Drysdale has two goals over his last seven contests. The 21-year-old continues to see top-four usage, though his ice time tends to drop when the Flyers dress seven defensemen as they did Monday. Drysdale is at three goals, six assists, 36 shots on net, 29 blocked shots and a minus-8 rating through 22 appearances between the Flyers and the Ducks this season.

Drysdale (illness) is ready to return Thursday versus Dallas.
EDGE Analysis
Drysdale missed two straight games because of the illness. He has a goal, seven points, nine hits and 19 blocks in 12 contests between Anaheim and Philadelphia in 2023-24. Drysdale is projected to serve on the top pairing alongside Travis Sanheim and be part of the second power-play unit.

Drysdale (illness) won't play Saturday against Winnipeg.
EDGE Analysis

Drysdale picked up an assist, two hits, two blocked shots and two PIM in Friday's 4-3 overtime win over the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
Drysdale has earned an assist in each of his first two games with the Flyers after he was traded from the Ducks. The 21-year-old defenseman is up to seven points, 24 shots on net, 19 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating through 12 appearances this season. So far, he's seeing top-four minutes and power-play time, though he could be challenged by Travis Sanheim, Cam York and Egor Zamula for time with the man advantage.

Drysdale picked up a power-play assist in Wednesday's 3-2 shootout win over the Canadiens.
EDGE Analysis
The former Duck wasted no time making an impact with his new club, feeding Morgan Frost for a tally midway through the second period that tied the game at 2-2. Drysdale saw a healthy workload in his Flyers debut -- only Travis Sanheim saw more ice time among the team's blueliners. Drysdale, the sixth overall pick in the 2020 NHL Draft, has the skill to provide an immediate jolt to a Philly power play that ranks 31st on the season with a woeful 11.4 percent success rate.
