Raffl found the back of the net for the third consecutive game in Thursday's loss to the Lightning. He's got four goals on nine shots over that three-game span and six markers on the year. Raffl's sky-high shooting percentage says this luck is bound to balance out, but it's hard to ignore the offensive contributions he's made early on here. The Flyers' offense has awoken, and that should only help Raffl, so he's worth a speculative add at minimum.

Raffl scored his fifth goal of the season in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over Los Angeles. His fifth goal came after a two-goal performance against Detroit. The European import seems to be settling in comfortably in his second season. If the Flyers continue to heat up, Raffl could be poised to cash in on even more points.

Raffl scored two goals and added an assist in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Red Wings. The winger has four goals and an assist in his last six games -- that's enough to warrant consideration in deep leagues. He's not likely to be a high-end fantasy contributor, but he is a guy who can help in deep formats.

Raffl sniped the game-tying goal in the third period of Saturday's 6-5 win over the Stars. Raffl has two goals to start the season. He scored just nine in 68 appearances last season, so this is a strong start for the European import. If he can translate his Swedish-league success to the NHL, he has the potential to bag enough points to be relevant in all formats.

Raffl came away with his first goal of the season in Saturday's loss to the Habs. Elevated to the top line Saturday, Raffl took advantage of the opportunity, scoring one of two Philadelphia goals in an 18-second span in the first period. Raffl may not permanently stick next to Claude Giroux and Jakub Voracek, but he might have earned himself at least another one-game trial on the line following Saturday's performance.

Michael Raffl has undergone a minor elbow surgery. Raffl had bone chips removed. He should be fine for the 2014-15 campaign.

Michael Raffl got some playing time on the Flyers' top line during Game 6 on Tuesday. Raffl is expected to skate alongside Claude Giroux in Game 7 on Wednesday. Raffl has an assist in six playoff contests.

A year ago, Michael Raffl was living in near anonymity in Leksand - a quiet town of 5,934 residents in the middle of freezing Sweden. Raffl led his Swedish Elite League team in scoring, but had not yet popped up on the NHL radar. Time was running out. He was already 24, reaching the age where few players stop being viewed as prospects. "You should have seen that place," Raffl said. "There was nothing going on. I couldn't even go to dinner at night, everything closed early." One year later, Raffl has played in 60 NHL games and signed a 2-year contract extension that will pay him $2.2 million. Raffl has nine goals and 12 assists for 21 points in 59 games. "I think he's done a really good job," coach Craig Berube said. "He's skating really well. He's on top of people. He's forechecking hard. He's getting some opportunities to score. He's doing a good job killing penalties. He's been a valuable player for us for a while." Raffl has the energy and consistency of a fourth-line player, but the skill to create scoring chances for his linemates.

Michael Raffl could see third line minutes on Monday. Raffl could replace the injured Steve Downie on a line with Matt Read and Sean Couturier. It is thought that Downie may have suffered another concussion on Saturday. Raffl has nine goals and 21 points in 57 games this season.

Philadelphia has re-signed Michael Raffl to a two-year, $2.2 million contract. He has potted nine goals and 21 points in 57 games with the Flyers during his rookie season.
