Matt Read had a goal and two assists in Philadelphia's 6-3 win on Wednesday.
Read ended his four-game point drought. Despite that mini-slump, he's actually turned his season around lately and is definitely worth trying out in standard leagues if you're looking to make a move.

After losing four of the first five games under new coach Craig Berube, the Flyers have gone 8-3-2 to climb out of last place in the Metropolitan Division.
"We're having fun out there, doing simple things, not turning pucks over and just playing simple hockey," Read said. "We're a good team, and it just takes a matter of time and a couple of lucky bounces to get a positive atmosphere and get things clicking and going our way." The Flyers are averaging 3.6 goals their past six games after scoring 1.5 in the first 15.

Matt Read has a team-leading 24 shots on goal, but still doesn't have a point.
"I feel still confident in my game," Read said. "Working hard. Just trying to do the best I can to help the team win. Maybe things aren't going in for me. I've hit a couple posts, a couple crossbars. Everyone goes through these little streaks where nothing goes your way. I just have to keep working hard, keep going to the net and keep doing those little things that eventually turn it around and help this team out." Read certainly isn't the only Flyers player struggling offensively, but it's not like he had a ton of upside to begin with. It's still possible for Read to reach the 50-point mark in 2013-14, but he's not worth owning at this time in standard leagues.
