Raffl (abdomen) is expected to play Thursday against the Islanders, Sam Carchidi of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Raffl will be held out of his eighth consecutive game Wednesday as he continues to recover from the ailment but all signs are pointing to his return for the second game of the back-to-back. Once fully healthy, the 27-year-old left winger will look to increase his point totals for the fourth consecutive season during the 2016-17 campaign.

Raffl (abdomen) will not play Wednesday against the Red Wings, Sam Carchidi of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Previous reports suggested that Raffl would be ready to return for the upcoming contest, but he remains on IR. Look for Chris VandeVelde to continue filling in on the fourth line with Raffl off the ice, but understand that the former is not relevant in fantasy leagues with an assist representing his lone point on the season.

Raffl (abdomen) appears ready to rejoin the lineup, Sam Carchidi of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Raffl was still on injured reserve as of Tuesday morning, but he should be activated ahead of Wednesday's home contest against the Red Wings. This is good timing for the Flyers, as the team just learned that another forward, Boyd Gordon, will miss at least one week with an upper-body injury.

Raffl (abdomen) has been placed on injured reserve.

EDGE Analysis

Raffl was expected to miss at least 10 days anyway so this move isn't very surprising. Winger Taylor Leier was called up from the minors earlier today so expect him, Nick Cousins, and Chris VandeVelde to pick up the slack in the meantime.

Raffl (abdomen) will miss 10-14 days, per GM Ron Hextall, Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Raffl left Tuesday's contest against the Blackhawks with the injury. A no-frills winger who seemingly improves offensively in each subsequent season, the 27-year-old managed one goal in three games to start the season. His extended absence could pave the way for rookie Travis Konecny to vault into the top six, though such an arrangement has yet to be confirmed.

Raffl is dealing with an abdominal pull and is without a timetable to return to action, Tim Panaccio of CSN Philadelphia reports.

EDGE Analysis

Raffl, who left Tuesday's contest early, was playing on the Flyers top line, but was likely to get bumped down with the return of Brayden Schenn (suspension). The winger's offers mid-range value given his limited power-play contributions. If he is out for any length of time, fantasy owners will want to consider picking up other options off the waiver wire.

Raffl left Tuesday's game against the Blackhawks with an upper-body injury and will not return.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear at this point how the ailment was sustained but the Flyers will likely release further details after the game. Prior to exiting the contest, the left winger attempted one shot and picked up three hits over 9:36 of ice time.

Raffl scored the team's lone goal in Monday's Game 3 loss to the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

It looked as though the Flyers might get back into the series and defend home ice, as Raffl got them on the board just 57 seconds into the game, but the offense collectively went dry the rest of the way. The point was his first of the series, but he may not have many more opportunities if his mates don't get going offensively.

Raffl scored and dished out two helpers -- including one on the power play -- in Sunday's 5-2 victory over the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old had gone cold, failing to register a point since March 28. However, he broke out in a big way in the final game of the regular season. It was his first three-point game and just his sixth multi-point game of the season. After netting 21 goals a season ago, he finished with 13 this year. He'll look to turn Sunday's performance into a hot streak as Philly gets ready to start postseason play.

Raffl lit the lamp twice during Tuesday's 4-3 victory over Detroit.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old was very active in the game, racking up five shots, a hit, a blocked shot, and a plus-2 rating to go with the two tallies. Raffl has been on a tear lately, putting up three goals in the last two games, and seven points in the last five games. It was also his second straight multi-point performance. He has just 25 total points on the season, but has shown the ability to stuff the scoresheet on occasion.
