Anisimov (lower body) signed a professional tryout agreement with AHL Lehigh Valley on Tuesday, Tony Androckitis of theAHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anisimov was injured while in camp with the Flyers on a PTO and is continuing to work his way back to 100 percent. If he can show he still has something left in the tank, Anisimov could earn a two-way deal from Philadelphia at some point. Until then, he won't be eligible to suit up in an NHL contest.

Anisimov (lower body) is out of the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Devils, Olivia Reiner of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anisimov remains out, and he's also on a professional tryout, so he would need to sign a contract before he's eligible to play in the regular season. He is unlikely to sign until he's healthy again, and there's been little information on when that might happen. Prior to the injury, he was pushing for a fourth-line job.

Anisimov didn't take part in Sunday's scrimmage due to a lower-body injury, Bill Meltzer of the Flyers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anisimov blocked a shot in Saturday's preseason win over Boston. He is attending training camp with the Flyers on a professional tryout and it will be difficult for him to land a roster spot if he can't return in short order.

Anisimov is expected to battle with Tanner Laczynski for the fourth-line center job in Philadelphia, according to Sam Carchidi of Philly Hockey Now.

EDGE Analysis

Patrick Brown is week-to-week with offseason back surgery, leaving a spot open for Anisimov, who is on a PTO, and Laczynski, who is on a two-way contract. Anisimov spent last season in the KHL, where he had eight goals and 19 points in 27 games with Yaroslav Lokomotiv after spending the previous 12 seasons in the NHL.

Anisimov will take part in the Flyers' training camp on a professional tryout agreement, the team announced Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Anisimov will be looking to return to the NHL after spending last season in Russia with Yaroslavl Lokomotiv. In the KHL, the 2006 second-round pick notched eight goals and 11 assists in 27 outings. During his previous NHL stints, Anisimov has logged 771 games for the Rangers, Blue Jackets, Blackhawks and Senators and brings a wealth of experience to the table.

Anisimov agreed to terms on a one-year deal with KHL club HC Lokomotiv on Wednesday, per KHL.com.

EDGE Analysis

Anisimov was in training camp with the Avalanche on a professional tryout agreement but was unable to earn a permanent deal from the club. Instead, the 33-year-old will return to the KHL for the first time since 2012-13 when he garnered 29 points in 36 games for Yaroslavl Lokomotiv. At this point, this will likely mark the end of Anisimov's time in the NHL, which would see him eventually retire having played in 771 games for the Rangers, Blue Jackets, Blackhawks and Senators. In those outings, Anisimov generated 180 goals, 196 assists and 1380 shots while averaging 15:58 of ice time.

Anisimov was released from his professional tryout offer with the Avalanche on Friday, Mike Chambers of The Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anisimov was decent in limited action with the Senators last season, picking up two goals and nine points in 19 contests, but he was nonetheless unable to secure a contract with the stacked Avalanche during training camp. If Anisimov is unable to land a contract with another NHL team, he may opt to head overseas to continue his playing career.

Anisimov will attend the Avalanche's training camp on a professional tryout contract, per CapFriendly.

EDGE Analysis

The 33-year-old forward was limited to just nine points in 19 games last season with the Senators. Anisimov was rumored to be considering a KHL deal earlier in the summer, but he'll now try to win an NHL job with the Avalanche, who are in need of bottom-six depth after the departures of Brandon Saad and Pierre-Edouard Bellemare this offseason.

Anisimov scored nine points in 20 games for Ottawa, with the majority coming on helpers.

EDGE Analysis

Anisimov had a cap hit of $4.5 million in 2020-21, making it unlikely the Senators will ask him back unless they need to get to the salary floor. Anisimov has been the subject of KHL rumors, but agent Todd Diamond has said Anisimov's plan remains to play in the NHL in 2021-22. If he does stay in North America, a move elsewhere could get his assist numbers back to the point where he could be a decent contributor as a cheap option in daily leagues.

Anisimov collected three assists and four shots with a plus-3 rating in Saturday's 6-3 win over Montreal.

EDGE Analysis

That performance came out of nowhere. Anisimov, just promoted from the taxi squad Friday, put together his first multi-point game of the season with assists on a pair of Evgenii Dadonov goals and a single tally by Alex Formenton. The 32-year-old Anisimov had just two goals and two assists in 14 games entering the night and was in the lineup for the first time since March 10.
