Matt Read scored a goal and added three assists in the Flyers' 7-2 win over Ottawa Tuesday.
The undrafted forward has been a revelation for Philadelphia this season and although he doesn't see a lot of prime power play action, he's worth a look in deep leagues. Sean Couturier, Claude Giroux and Maxime Talbot each notched a goal and an assist in the blowout win.

Matt Read has notched a goal and an assist in his past two games.
He made the Flyers roster out of training camp and he has started the year on the right foot. Along with fellow Philadelphia rookie Sean Couturier, Read has seen plenty of action on the penalty kill where the team has allowed three goals while be short 17 times. He plays with energy and is being rewarded with power-play minutes as well. Read was credited with four hits, two blocked shots and one assist in Wednesday's 5-4 win over Vancouver.

Reid potted seven goals and registered six assists in 11 games with the Adirondack Phantoms last year. He has great speed and is strong on the puck. "He's a very well-rounded player," coach Peter Laviolette said. "He continues to impress."
