Flyers GM Ron Hextall is not interested in retaining Oduya, who is a pending unrestricted free agent, Dave Isaac of the Courier Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
It turns out that Oduya -- who was claimed off waivers from Ottawa at the trade deadline -- truly was a rental player as the Flyers needed extra depth for the playoffs, though he didn't see any game action despite having two Stanley Cup championships with the Blackhawks on his resume (2013, 2015). The Penguins took care of the interstate rival in the conference quarterfinals in six games. The 36-year-old has recorded 190 points (41 goals, 149 assists) over 850 career games between six NHL clubs.

Oduya (lower body) is healthy and could return to the lineup Tuesday against the Islanders, Dave Isaac of the Court-Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
You can't necessarily say the Flyers have missed Oduya, considering that he's only played in one game since being traded from from the Senators. He's missed his last 13 games with injury. Though the 36-year-old is healthy, that doesn't mean he will necessarily play. Given his long layoff, and Philly's fight for a playoff spot, Oduya may find himself outside the lineup looking in.

Oduya (lower body) won't play Thursday against Columbus.
EDGE Analysis
Oduya will miss a fifth straight game Thursday, and the Flyers have yet to release any details regarding a potential timetable for his return to the lineup. Philadelphia should provide an update on the veteran blueliner once he's deemed fit to play, but he should be considered out indefinitely until that occurs.

Oduya (lower body) is out Monday against the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Oduya has only been able to play in one game with the Flyers since being claimed off waivers. The 36-year-old was able to participate in the morning skate Monday at least, so he may be able to return soon. Since the Flyers don't play again until Thursday, he'll have a few days to get ready.

Oduya is considered day-to-day with a lower-body injury, Bill Meltzer of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Swede has only played in one game for the Flyers since they claimed him off waivers via the Senators ahead of the trade-deadline day. His next chance to play now arrives Monday against the visiting Golden Knights.

Oduya (undisclosed) is healthy but will serve as a scratch for Wednesday's game against the Penguins, Sam Carchidi of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Oduya took part in the team's morning skate session Wednesday, suggesting that he was healthy ahead of the contest. The veteran should serve as a fringe lineup option the rest of the way, but he's played in just one contest since the Flyers claimed him off waivers Feb. 26. Regardless of his lineup status, Oduya's eight points (four goals, four assists) over 52 games between the Senators and Flyers this season leave him off the fantasy radar in the vast majority of formats.

Oduya (undisclosed) participated in practice Wednesday but is not in the lineup for the evening's contest against the Penguins, The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Oduya's presence at morning skate Wednesday could suggest that he's serving as a healthy scratch for the matchup against Pittsburgh, but, regardless of the reason, he has played in just one game since being claimed off waivers by the Flyers on Feb. 26. The veteran blueliner's next opportunity to draw in arrives Thursday in Boston.

Oduya suffered an injury during the second period of Sunday's 4-1 loss to Florida, and his status for Wednesday's match with Pittsburgh is in doubt, Sam Carchidi of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 36-year-old only played for nine seconds during the third period, and wasn't on the bench for the majority of the frame. It doesn't appear the injury will be long term as he was able to walk out of the locker room, but with Andrew MacDonald (upper body) currently sidelined as well, Travis Sanheim will be a popular recall option for Wednesday's tilt if neither Oduya or MacDonald are ready to go.

Oduya will play Sunday against the Panthers, Sam Carchidi of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Oduya will get this opportunity since Andrew MacDonald (upper body) won't dress Sunday. Since being traded to the Flyers, Oduya has sat out three games due to visa issues but he was simply a healthy scratch Saturday. This may become a consistent theme for the 36-year-old blueliner, as he had just four goals and eight points in 51 games for the Senators this season.

Oduya is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Lightning, Sam Carchidi of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Oduya was on the ice for warmups, so it appears visa problems are no longer holding him back and he's simply a healthy scratch. The veteran blueliner should draw into the lineup some moving forward, but he's not guaranteed to see consistent action with his new club.
