Brayden Schenn tallied a goal and two assists in Philadelphia's 4-3 overtime win over Carolina Saturday. Schenn got off to a tough start but he is starting to come on now offensively with six points in his last five games. Jakub Voracek notched a goal and a helper against the Hurricanes, while Daniel Briere netted the game-winning marker.

Brayden Schenn netted a goal but it wasn't enough as the Flyers lost to the Capitals on Friday night 3-2. Schenn has sputtered to start this season, with just a goal and two assists. He has the talent to be a fantasy contributor, but as with any young player, remains risky because of inconsistencies that lead to ice-time fluctuations. Bruno Gervais also scored in the loss. Kurtis Foster, Tye McGinn, Danny Briere and Matt Read had the helpers.

Brayden Schenn was reinstated from his suspension on Saturday January 26.

Brayden Schenn has been suspended for one game for charging New Jersey Devils defenseman Anton Volchenkov. The incident occurred at 12:37 mark of the second period on Tuesday night and no penalty was called on the play. Schenn will forfeit $4,702.70 and he will be eligible to return on Saturday, Jan. 26 against the Florida Panthers.

Brayden Schenn will have a disciplinary hearing Wednesday afternoon for a hit he laid on New Jersey's Anton Volchenkov. Schenn appeared to leave his feet to deliver the hit to the Devils defenseman in the second period, but no penalty was called on the play.

Brayden Schenn wants to remain with Claude Giroux and Scott Hartnell when the Flyers open the regular season and he hopes to stay there for the balance of the year. "I want to go in there and win that spot and hopefully stay there," Schenn said after Monday's practice. "It's an opportunity to play with one of the top players in the league, and Hartnell is coming off a great year. For me, I'm just trying to blend in and find chemistry as quick as possible and hopefully step up and fill that role." He has seen some time at right wing with AHL Adirondack this campaign, but has spent most of his career as a center. Schenn played great in the minors during the lockout and he appears to be poised for a more productive sophomore campaign despite the shortened schedule.

Reports out of Philadelphia indicate Brayden Schenn could play the wing alongside Claude Giroux on the Flyers top line when the season opens. Initially thought to be the second line center, the club apparently would like to see the youngster play with one of the league's top playmakers on the team' top unit. No matter where he ends up, the fact that Schenn's ice time is set to increase considerably is the biggest reason he's a fantastic sleeper entering the shortened season.

Look for Brayden Schenn to center the Flyers' second line. He will get plenty of ice time with Daniel Briere and possibly Wayne Simmonds and could be a breakout candidate in 2013. In 33 games in the AHL this season Schenn scored 13 goals and registered 33 points. We like him as a nice late round sleeper pick.

Although Brayden Schenn has been one of the AHL's top scorers this season, his plus-minus rating is deplorable. In fact, only three regular players in the entire AHL have a worse plus-minus rating than Schenn's minus 13. He ranks 889th amongst all players. We are not sure if this is a true indication of Schenn's defensive play but it is worrisome for those who participate in fantasy pools that include plus-minus stats.

Brayden Schenn registered two assists in Adirondack's 4-3 shootout victory over Syracuse on Friday night. To no one's surprise, Schenn is faring quite well in the AHL. He has 29 points on the year, with a whopping 100 shots on net. Harry Zolnierczyk also had a goal, his eight of the season, while Sean Couturier chipped in with a helper.
