Jiricek logged three assists in AHL Lehigh Valley's 4-3 overtime win over Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Jiricek has earned four points over his first three games with the Phantoms. He has 14 points in 27 contests overall at the AHL level this season, which he started in the Wild's organization. It's unclear if Jiricek will get a look on the Flyers' blue line before the end of the season, but he should be in contention for a spot on the Opening Night roster for 2026-27.

Jiricek was traded to the Flyers from the Wild on Friday in exchange for Bobby Brink, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jiricek was the sixth overall pick in the 2022 NHL Draft, but he was traded to the Wild from the Blue Jackets in November of 2024 and will be on the move for a second consecutive season. He's made 25 appearances with Minnesota this year, being held without a point while recording 19 blocked shots, 14 PIM and eight hits while averaging 11:43 of ice time. He was sent to AHL Iowa on Thursday, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him join the NHL club in Philadelphia at some point, especially if the Flyers trade away some of their other contributors.

Jiricek was reassigned to AHL Iowa on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Jiricek spent the past several weeks with the NHL club, and he recorded no points, five blocked shots, three hits and two PIM while averaging 10:38 of ice time over seven appearances during that time. He'll be sent to the minors ahead of the Olympic break, which should allow him to see playing time in Iowa during the league's layoff.

Jiricek was called up from AHL Iowa on Friday, per Dylan Loucks of The Hockey News.

EDGE Analysis

Carson Lambos was returned to Iowa in a corresponding move. Jiricek has a goal and five points in 15 outings with Iowa in 2025-26. He also has appeared in 18 games with Minnesota this season, recording no points, 12 PIM, 11 shots, five hits and 14 blocks.

Jiricek was demoted to AHL Iowa on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Jiricek's reassignment provides the team with the necessary roster space to activate Daemon Hunt (undisclosed) from injured reserve. In 18 games for the Wild, the 22-year-old Jiricek failed to generate a point but produced 11 shots, 12 PIM and five hits while averaging 12:08 of ice time.

Jiricek was recalled from AHL Iowa on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Jiricek's promotion to the NHL roster is a good indication that there is an injury on the blue line ahead of Monday's matchup with the Kings. Even with the defenseman's call-up, he may find himself watching from the press box as a healthy scratch. In the minors this year, Jiricek has notched one goal and two assists in 13 outings, so he probably shouldn't be expected to offer much in the way of offensive upside.

Jiricek has been reassigned to AHL Iowa by the Wild, the team announced Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Jiricek has bounced back-and-forth between Iowa and Minnesota all season long, and that will continue with his latest demotion. With the Wild's preferred top-six defensemen healthy and Matt Kiersted serving as the seventh defenseman, the Wild likely want to see the 22-year-old play rather than be a healthy scratch. Jiricek has no points in 18 games in the NHL this season.

Jiricek (lower body) will be in the lineup for Tuesday's home matchup versus the Capitals, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jiricek exited Sunday's contest against the Bruins as a result of a lower-body injury, but he won't miss any additional action. The right-shot blueliner should skate on the third pairing alongside Matt Kiersted on Tuesday. The 22-year-old Jiricek has not recorded a point through 14 appearances this year.

Jiricek exited Sunday's game against the Bruins due to a lower-body injury, Dylan Loucks of The Hockey News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Head coach John Hynes didn't have an update on Jiricek's status following Sunday's matchup, so the defenseman's status for Tuesday's game against the Capitals isn't yet clear. Jiricek saw a relatively normal workload prior to his departure, as he logged 12:52 of ice time. If Jiricek is unable to suit up against Washington, Matt Kiersted will be a candidate to enter the lineup.

Jiricek is slated to be recalled from AHL Iowa on Friday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Wild are apparently dealing with an injury on the blue line, hence the recall of Jiricek. He has yet to pick up a point in 12 NHL games this season with the Wild. Jiricek has one goal and a pair of assists in 10 AHL games this season.
