Friedman was sent down to AHL Lehigh Valley on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Friedman appeared in five games with the Flyers but was no longer needed at the top level with Justin Braun (groin) expected to return to the lineup. The 24-year-old blueliner will head back to the minors where he's scored 10 points in 28 games.

Friedman posted a shot on goal and one hit in a 4-1 loss to the Canadiens on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

While Friedman is still searching for his first goal, he was also looking for his first shot of the season before Thursday, so at least he now has that under his belt. Friedman has an assist, plus-1 rating, two PIM and one shot in five NHL games this season.

The Flyers recalled Friedman from AHL Lehigh Valley on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Blueliner Justin Braun (groin) will be out until after the All-Star break and Shayne Gostisbehere (knee) will be out Wednesday versus the Capitals, so Friedman will crack the lineup immediately. The 24-year-old has accrued 10 points and 24 PIM over 28 AHL games this year.

Friedman (abdomen) will be in the lineup for Tuesday's preseason clash with the Islanders, Bill Meltzer of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Friedman underwent abdominal surgery during the offseason, but he was always expected to be ready for training camp, so this news doesn't come as a surprise. The 23-year-old blueliner, who notched five goals and 26 points in 75 games with AHL Lehigh Valley last year, is once again expected to remain in the minors for most, if not all of the upcoming season.

Friedman underwent offseason abdominal surgery, but is set to be ready for the Flyers main camp, Bill Meltzer of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Friedman will be a longshot to make the team for Opening Night versus the Blackhawks on Oct. 4, so any missed time during camp will further set the blueliner behind. Even if fully fit, the 23-year-old figures to spend some time in the minors, though he should earn the occasional call-up from time to time.

The Flyers assigned Friedman to AHL Lehigh Valley on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Friedman made his NHL debut in Saturday's loss to the Hurricanes. He recorded 12:33 TOI and a minus-1 rating. The 23-year-old will look to help the minor-league squad make the playoffs. He's had decent success with AHL Lehigh Valley, posting 24 points in 71 games.

Friedman will make his NHL debut Saturday against the Hurricanes, Adam Kimelman of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Friedman made a lot of noise in his collegiate career with Bowling Green State University (2014-17), picking up All-Rookie, First All-Star and Third All-Star WCHA honors over a three-year span. He turned pro with AHL Lehigh Valley and produced 41 points (seven goals, 34 assists) over 137 contests. There's no need to pick him up for the regular-season finale, but he'll still be worth watching for future fantasy consideration.

The Flyers summoned Friedman from AHL Lehigh Valley on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

It seems likely Friedman will make his NHL debut Saturday against the Hurricanes given the timing of the recall. The 2014 third-round pick doesn't have a ton of offensive upside, notching just 24 points over 71 contests with the Phantoms, so his promotion should go largely unnoticed in fantasy leagues.

Friedman agreed to terms on an entry-level contract with the Flyers on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Friedman, selected in the third round of the 2014 NHL Draft, spent the past three season playing for Bowling Green State University. During his collegiate career, the defenseman racked up 16 goals and 52 helpers, along with 143 PIM. Having signed his contract, the 21-year-old will finish out the year with AHL Lehigh Valley.
