Yandle dished two assists in Wednesday's 6-3 win over Boston.
EDGE Analysis
Yandle figured in on goals by Scott Laughton and Sean Couturier, giving the veteran defenseman five helpers in his first three games as a Flyer. The 35-year-old Yandle has remained productive offensively since registering a career-high 62 points with Florida in 2018-19, although his per-game scoring dipped significantly during a 27-point campaign a year ago.

Yandle notched two assists (one on the power play), two shots on goal and a pair of hits in Friday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
The 35-year-old defenseman hasn't missed a game since the 2008-09 season, and his Flyers debut was a solid first impression. Yandle signed a one-year contract after he was bought out by the Panthers. Yandle isn't all that steady in his own zone, but there aren't many better options waiting in the press box for a third-pairing job. Despite the limited even-strength role, Yandle will get a gig on the top power-play unit, which could keep his scoring numbers in the fantasy-relevant range.

Yandle agreed to terms on a one-year, $900,000 deal with Philadelphia on Tuesday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Yandle will take his ironman streak to the City of Brotherly Love where he will join a blue line filled with new faces including Ryan Ellis and Rasmus Ristolainen. While the 34-year-old Yandle is unlikely to return to being a 50-60 point producer and may be hard-pressed to secure minutes with the man advantage. As such, the Boston native should probably be considered a mid-range fantasy option.

Yandle was officially bought out by Florida on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Yandle ended the year bogged down in a 42-game goal drought during which he still managed to generated 16 assists. The veteran blueliner will be looking to extend his ironman streak but will have to do so with his fourth NHL club having previously played for the Coyotes, Rangers and Panthers.

Yandle will be a healthy scratch for Saturday's Game 4 versus Tampa Bay, Dan Rosen of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Yandle picked up two assists in Game 1 against the Lightning, but he's been a defensive liability all season, so he may be watching from the press box more often than not going forward. The 34-year-old blueliner has picked up 27 points while posting a minus-8 rating through 56 contests this campaign.

Yandle is a healthy scratch Thursday for Game 3 against Tampa Bay, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Yandle produced a pair of assists in Game 1 but was held scoreless in just 13:43 of ice time in Game 2. The Panthers rolled with seven defensemen in Game 2 but dressed six Thursday to accommodate the return of Sam Bennett from suspension. It'll be interesting to see if Yandle returns Saturday for Game 4.

Yandle notched two assists in Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Lightning in Game 1.
EDGE Analysis
Yandle only saw 16:10 of ice time, but he was able to help out on goals by Aleksander Barkov (power play) and Carter Verhaeghe (even strength) in the first period. The 34-year-old Yandle should be a steady veteran presence on the third pairing. He racked up 27 points (18 on the power play) in 56 regular-season outings.

Yandle produced two assists -- including a power-play helper -- in Monday's 5-4 overtime win over the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
Yandle was clutch in this contest, particularly when he delivered the primary assist to captain Aleksander Barkov in overtime and on the man advantage. The Ironman managed his first multi-point game since March 6, though Yandle has five box-score multipliers on the season.

Yandle recorded a power-play assist and six shots on goal in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Yandle set up Aleksander Barkov's first-period marker in Tuesday's high-scoring battle. The 34-year-old Yandle has just four assists in 15 games in April. For the season, he's at 24 points (17 on the power play), 102 shots on net and a minus-10 rating in 51 appearances.

Yandle produced an assist and five shots on goal in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
Yandle set up Radko Gudas' tally in the second period to give the Panthers a 2-1 lead. The 34-year-old Yandle snapped a five-game point drought with the assist. The Massachusetts native is up to 22 points, 82 shots on net and a minus-6 rating through 43 appearances. He's seen a reduced role on the second pairing, but 15 of his 22 points have come with the man advantage. That's enough to keep him on the fantasy radar.
