Friedman was waived by Philadelphia on Tuesday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Friedman has been a healthy scratch for all but one of the Flyers' last eight games, so this move doesn't come as a surprise. He'll likely be assigned to Philly's taxi squad if he passes through waivers unclaimed.

Friedman (face) was taken out of Thursday's game versus the Bruins for precautionary reasons, Bill Meltzer of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Friedman was injured in the second period and didn't return to the game. In head coach Alain Vigneault's postgame comments, he indicated Friedman is fine going forward. The 25-year-old blueliner should return to a third-pairing role for Saturday's second game versus the Bruins.

Friedman (face) was injured in the second period of Thursday's game against the Bruins and did not return to the contest, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

EDGE Analysis

Friedman got tangled up with Brad Marchand in a collision, and the former got the worst of it. He was bleeding from his face as he went down the tunnel to the locker room, and he didn't emerge during the third period. Friedman's early exit marks the second game in a row the Flyers have lost a defenseman. If he can't go in time for Saturday's rematch with the Bruins, Shayne Gostisbehere or Nate Prosser could enter the lineup in his place.

Friedman has been signed to a two-year, one-way contract extension the Flyers announced Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Friedman's contract has an averaged annual value of $725,000. The 24-year-old recently completed his third season with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms where he scored three goats and added 15 assists in 45 games. Friedman also played six games with the Flyers.

The Flyers sent Friedman down to AHL Lehigh Valley on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Friedman hasn't suited up in the NHL since Feb. 20 and has one assist in six NHL games this season. The 24-year-old defenseman has 18 points in 45 AHL contests this season.

Philadelphia recalled Friedman from AHL Lehigh Valley on Wednesday, Davie Isaac of the Courier-Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Philippe Myers is expected to be sidelined for approximately four weeks with a fractured right patella, so Friedman is likely in for an extended stay with the big club. The 24-year-old blueliner has picked up one assist in six top-level games this campaign.

The Flyers reassigned Friedman to AHL Lehigh Valley on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Justin Braun (illness) is set to return to the lineup, so Friedman will head back down to the AHL. The 24-year-old Friedman has accrued 15 points through 39 AHL games this year, and he'll look to continue his development with top-four minutes.

Philadelphia promoted Friedman from AHL Lehigh Valley on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Shayne Gostisbehere is still battling a knee injury, so Friedman will be on hand to round out the Flyers' depth at defense Thursday against Columbus. The 24-year-old will be sent to Lehigh Valley as soon as Gostisbehere's ready to return.

The Flyers assigned Friedman to AHL Lehigh Valley on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Friedman was called up to serve as the seventh defenseman because Shayne Gostisbehere (knee) couldn't go Saturday against the Lightning. However, with the Flyers not playing until Tuesday, Friedman will stay in the minors for the time being.

The Flyers recalled Friedman from AHL Lehigh Valley on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

This likely means Shayne Gostisbehere (knee) won't be ready for Saturday's game versus the Lightning. The 24-year-old Friedman has recorded 13 points over 38 AHL games this year. There's no guarantee he cracks the lineup Saturday.
