Sanheim scored a goal on two shots, added an assist, blocked two shots and went plus-4 in Wednesday's 8-5 win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
This was Sanheim's first multi-point effort since Dec. 7 in Boston. The defenseman has been limited to three points over 21 games since the 4 Nations Face-Off break, though he's added 26 hits, 38 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating in that span. He hasn't seen much of a bump on offense and hasn't gained power-play time since the Flyers fired head coach John Tortorella in late March. Sanheim's at 30 points, 129 shots on net, 164 blocks, 77 hits and a minus-5 rating over 78 appearances, but the lack of steady offense recently is a red flag for fantasy.

Sanheim scored a goal on two shots, blocked three shots and added two PIM in Sunday's 7-4 loss to the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Sanheim ended a 14-game point drought with his first-period goal, which tied the game at 2-2. The 28-year-old had struggled after his time with Team Canada for the 4 Nations Face-Off, but it hasn't cost him ice time for the Flyers. He's now at seven goals, 28 points, 120 shots on net, 153 blocked shots, 69 hits and a minus-15 rating across 72 appearances. Sanheim is in a top-four role and should be able to reach the 30-point mark for the fourth time in his eight-year career.

Sanheim did not register a point and was held to one shot on goal in 22:51 of ice time in Thursday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
Sanheim is the No. 1 defenseman on the Flyers, but it's been a tough go recently. The 28-year-old has just three points over his last 14 games and none since returning from the 4 Nations Face-Off. Perhaps most concerning is the return of Rasmus Ristolainen (upper body) and the skill set of Jamie Drysdale being better suited for the power play, who combined have left no room for Sanheim on the Flyers' power play, limiting his chances for future offensive contributions.

Sanheim recorded an assist, seven hits and three blocked shots in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to Utah.
EDGE Analysis
Sanheim had gone eight games without a point entering Tuesday, and he had a minus-10 rating with just six hits in that span. The defenseman doled out some physicality and also got back on the scoresheet to put an end to his slump, which has not cost him his top-four spot. The 28-year-old blueliner is now at six goals, 19 helpers, 100 shots on net, 51 hits, 119 blocked shots and a minus-7 rating over 55 appearances. His heavy defensive usage can take a toll on his scoring, but he often sees time in all situations.

Sanheim logged an assist, two blocked shots, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Sanheim helped out on a Ryan Poehling tally in the third period. The helper ended a five-game slump for Sanheim, though he has been limited to two assists over his last 11 outings. The 28-year-old defenseman is still seeing top-four minutes, so he should have ample opportunities to turn things around. He has 22 points, 81 shots on net, 36 hits, 96 blocked shots, 28 PIM and a plus-3 rating over 43 contests.

Sanheim logged an assist, two blocked shots and two PIM in Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Sanheim helped out on a Tyson Foerster tally in the first period. The assist ended a four-game point drought for Sanheim, which was his worst slump since he opened the season with no points over five outings. The 28-year-old defenseman is up to 21 points, 74 shots on net, 80 blocked shots, 26 PIM, 25 hits and a plus-3 rating over 37 appearances. Since he does enough in the non-scoring areas, Sanheim's lack of offense recently has not endangered his top-four status.

Sanheim scored a goal, blocked three shots and added two PIM in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
Sanheim scored for the first time since Nov. 16 versus the Sabres. Over the 12 games between goals, he had seven assists, 25 shots on net and 32 blocked shots. The 28-year-old blueliner continues to be the Flyers' most important all-around defenseman, though his power-play role tends to come and go depending on who else is in the lineup. Sanheim is up to six goals, 19 points, 69 shots on net, 74 blocks, 20 hits, 22 PIM and a plus-4 rating through 31 appearances.

Sanheim picked up two assists Saturday in a 4-3 overtime loss to Boston.
EDGE Analysis
Sanheim's improvement has been one of the highlights of the Flyers' season. He's fourth in the NHL in average ice time (25:33) and ranks among the league's top 10 in even-strength production from the back end. Sanheim's success has not gone unnoticed -- on Wednesday, he was named to the Team Canada roster for the 4 Nations Face-Off in February. Sanheim has 12 assists, 17 points and 64 blocks in 27 games this season. Only one of his points has come with the man advantage, limiting his fantasy value slightly, but there is plenty of room for a 40-plus point defender who sacrifices his body on most rosters.

Sanheim notched an assist, three blocked shots, two hits and two PIM in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Sanheim set up Morgan Frost's game-tying goal with less than 12 seconds left in the third period. Over the last seven games, Sanheim has eight points and 21 shots on net. The 28-year-old didn't start the year in the power-play mix, but he has regularly seen time with the man advantage during his current hot stretch. That bolsters his already-strong fantasy appeal. The veteran defenseman has 14 points, 57 shots on net, 53 blocked shots, 19 hits and 16 PIM while averaging 25:38 of ice time per game over 23 contests.

Sanheim recorded a goal, an assist, four blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
Sanheim found the back of the net for the fifth time this season with a snap shot late in the first period, and he later set up one of Travis Konecny's goals in the second frame. The blueliner has posted back-to-back multi-point efforts, as he chipped in one goal and two helpers in the 5-4 win at Ottawa on Thursday. Sanheim's six points (two goals, four assists) in seven November appearances have him up to 11 points on the season.
