Read will miss Saturday's matinee with a lower-body injury, Adam Kimelman of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear how serious the injury is at this point, but Read won't have to wait long for the next game as the Flyers go to work Sunday against Washington for the second leg of a back-to-back set.

Read was activated from IR on Sunday, Adam Kimelman of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The forward has missed the last 11 games, so it wouldn't be a surprise if it takes him a game or two to get back to full speed. With just 10 points in 27 games before injury, he wasn't too hot, so it might be best to wait to see signs of heating up before slotting him into a fantasy lineup.

Read (oblique) could return as soon as Wednesday versus the Blues, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Read would beat his initial four-week return timetable if he does lace up for the next game. The Ontario native came out like gangbusters to start the season, dropping five goals in his first five games, but he's only registered one goal and four helpers in 22 games since then. Read is used in all situations, which adds to his intrigue in fantasy hockey, though this latest injury that has kept him off the ice for the past nine games, coupled with his enigmatic ways, means you'll want to roster him only in deep formats.

Read (oblique) was designated for injured reserve Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Considering Read is expected to miss the next four weeks, it shouldn't be a surprise the Flyers put him on IR. Despite a hot start to the season in which he recorded five goals in five games, the winger has been ice cold of late, as he has registered a paltry three helpers in his previous 15 appearances. When he is cleared to return, fantasy owners may want to hold off on utilizing the 30-year-old until he can get his season back on track.

Rad will miss approximately four weeks due to what the Flyers are calling an upper-body injury.

EDGE Analysis

Tim Pannacio of CSN Philadelphia disclosed earlier Monday morning that Read was suffering from an oblique strain, but the team has labeled the issue upper body and has put a firm timetable on his return. The veteran winger notched just 10 points in 27 games with the Flyers this season, but was a member of the man advantage that will need to be replaced. Dale Weise has recently taken on that role and should continue to do so moving forward. Read's status should be updated further as he begins closing in on a return to the lineup.

Read is suffering from an oblique injury that occurred during Saturday's game against the Predators, Tim Panaccio of CSN Philadelphia reports.

EDGE Analysis

The team didn't clarify the expected timetable of the injury, but it seems likely he will be unavailable for Tuesday's contest at a minimum. More on his status should surface within the next day, but his absence could open door for a recall if Read winds up on IR.

Read left Sunday's game against the Predators with an upper-body injury and did not return, Sam Carchidi of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Read has averaged over 15 minutes of ice time per game this season but departed after just 1:57 in this one. The team hasn't yet stated the severity of the injury but will likely do so after the game or in the coming days. Through 27 games this season, the Bemidji State University product has 10 points, 40 shots on goal and a minus-2 rating.

Read skated with Claude Giroux and Wayne Simmonds on the top line during Monday's practice, Sam Carchidi of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Read has potted six goals through the first 13 games of the season, and he receives a fleeting fantasy boost for the duration of his stay atop the depth chart. Add his role with the No. 2 power-play unit, and Read is worth a speculative grab ahead of Tuesday's game with Detroit. He should also be on your radar as a low-priced flier for daily contests.

Read got his team-leading fifth goal in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

Read had a career-high 24 goals as a rookie in 2011-12, but has failed to replicate that success. And he has just 19 goals over his last two seasons. Read will be on your wire, but not for much longer -- this looks like his return to glory.

Read scored his fourth goal of the season during Thursday's game against Anaheim.

EDGE Analysis

It was the third consecutive game Read found the back of the net, and he's up to four goals this season. The veteran winger has two 20-goal campaigns on his resume, but has faded the past two years (19 goals and 56 points through 159 contests). His 3.5 shots per game thus far are encouraging, though, and a potential sign he could be in line for a bounce-back season offensively. However, Read will likely need to see some top-six looks and more power-play time to return to the 0.57 points-per-game mark he posted through his first three years in the league.
