Ristolainen garnered an assist in a 3-1 win over Detroit on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Ristolainen is currently stuck in a 14-game goal drought but has registered seven helpers over that stretch, including a pair with the man advantage. During his goal slump, the Finnish blueliner has put just 16 shots on target and will be hard-pressed to put one into the netting if he doesn't increase his shot volume.

Ristolainen notched two assists in a 4-3 loss to Seattle on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Ristolainen's first assist came while Philadelphia was on the power play, and his second helper was recorded while the Flyers were shorthanded. He has two goals and 11 points in 48 contests this season. Ristolainen was scoreless in his previous three outings.

Ristolainen tallied a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

Ristolainen gave Philadelphia a 2-1 lead with a shorthanded goal in the second period, his first tally of the season. The 28-year-old defenseman added an assist on Morgan Frost's goal later in the frame. While Tuesday's performance was impressive, multi-point games shouldn't be expected from Ristolainen going forward -- the two-point effort doubled his point total this year. Ristolainen now has four points, 86 hits, and 92 blocked shots through 38 games while playing on the Flyers' bottom defensive pair.

Ristolainen registered a shorthanded assist in Saturday's win over Los Angeles.

EDGE Analysis

Ristolainen was held off the scoresheet for the first 27 games of the season, but he has two assists over the past three contests. He continues to be a reliable source for peripherals, posting 72 hits and 74 blocks on the campaign.

Ristolainen has yet to produce any offense this season.

EDGE Analysis

Ristolainen has played 25 games this year, generating no goals or assists. He's averaging 18:31 of ice time per game, and has posted 62 hits and 61 blocks. He's better left off fantasy rosters until he starts contributing offensively.

Ristolainen had three this and three blocks during Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Blues.

EDGE Analysis

After being scratched against the Senators on Saturday, Ristolainen replaced Egor Zamula in the lineup and opened Tuesday paired with defenseman Nick Seeler. The 28-year-old defenseman responded by recording a plus-2 rating during 16:16 of ice time.

Ristolainen (lower body) will make his season debut Thursday against Florida, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Flyers plan to use seven defensemen in the contest. Ristolainen racked up 125 blocks and 230 hits in 66 games last season to go along with 16 points.

Ristolainen (lower body) is hoping to suit up against the Panthers on Thursday, Sam Carchidi of Philly Hockey Now reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ristolainen has yet to get onto the ice this season due to his lingering lower-body issue. Once given the all-clear, the blueliner is likely to relegate Egor Zamula from a spot in the lineup, though Nick Seeler could also be in danger of missing out. Even with the time missed, Ristolainen should still be capable of offering top-end fantasy value given his offensive upside.

Ristolainen (lower body) was moved to injured reserve Monday, Olivia Reiner of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ristolainen has already missed the first two games of the regular season. The Flyers also announced Monday that forward Zack MacEwen and defenseman Louis Belpedio had been recalled from AHL Lehigh Valley.

Ristolainen (undisclosed) is not expected to play Saturday against Vancouver, according to Olivia Reiner of The Philadelphia Inquirer.

EDGE Analysis

Ristolainen left practice early Wednesday and was not in the Flyers lineup Thursday on Opening Night. He had 16 points last season with 230 hits in 66 games.
