Sanheim recorded a shorthanded assist and blocked two shots in Friday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Kraken.

EDGE Analysis

Sanheim has four helpers over his last five contests since he missed one game due to an illness. The 27-year-old blueliner has enjoyed a breakout campaign in 2023-24, racking up 25 points (four on the power play, two shorthanded) with 64 shots on net, 62 blocked shots and a minus-7 rating over 34 outings. Sanheim should continue to see heavy minutes defensively, though his fantasy appeal is somewhat dimmed by his lack of power-play time in December.

Sanheim picked up two assists, five shots on net, three blocked shots, two hits, two PIM and a plus-1 rating in Friday's 7-6 shootout loss to the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

Both of his helpers came in the second period to help the Flyers rebound from an early 5-1 deficit. Sanheim has been locked in this month, racking up two goals and eight points in the last eight games. The 27-year-old blueliner is on pace to shatter his prior career highs of nine goals and 35 points, which he set in 2018-19. Sanheim has four markers and 24 points through 32 appearances this campaign.

Sanheim (illness) will be back in action versus New Jersey on Tuesday, Kevin Kurz of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

In his last five matches, Sanheim registered two goals, three assists and eight shots while averaging 23:17 of ice time. The blueliner has already put up 21 points this season and needs just 14 more over the rest of the campaign to match his career high posted back in 2018-19. With Sanheim cleared to play, either Marc Staal or Egor Zamula figures to be scratched.

Sanheim (illness) won't play Saturday versus the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

Sanheim's absence will be a big one, as the Flyers will have to take on a strong offense without their top overall blueliner. The 27-year-old has 21 points and has averaged 25:29 of ice time per game this season. Marc Staal will enter the lineup for Sanheim, who will get his first chance to return Tuesday versus the Devils.

Sanheim scored a goal, dished an assist, went plus-2, blocked two shots and added two hits in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

Sanheim has four points and a plus-6 rating over his last three contests. He's putting his recent seven-game drought behind him, and this was his first multi-point effort since Nov. 18. The defenseman's second-period marker stood as the game-winner, his second such goal of the campaign. He's up to 20 points, 53 shots on net, 50 blocked shots and a minus-8 rating through 27 appearances. He's three points shy of matching his production from 81 contests last season, and he should have a good chance to challenge for his career high of 35 points from the 2018-19 campaign.

Sanheim posted an assist, two shots on goal, two blocked shots, two PIM and a plus-3 rating in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Coyotes.

EDGE Analysis

Sanheim has a helper in each of the last two contests as he begins to bounce back from a seven-game drought. The 27-year-old was one of the Flyers' best players over the first month of the campaign before his skid. He's up to 18 points, 52 shots on net, 48 blocked shots, 20 PIM and a minus-10 rating over 26 appearances. He saw a season-low 19:15 of ice time in this game, though that was likely due to the Flyers having control of the game, something that's rarely happened despite their 14-10-2 record on the year.

Sanheim scored a goal, dished two assists, went plus-4, blocked four shots and added two hits in Friday's 6-3 win over the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

Sanheim's third-period marker stood as the game-winner, and he also set up goals by Cam Atkinson and Owen Tippett. This was Sanheim's third multi-point effort of the campaign. The 27-year-old defenseman is looking like a legitimate breakout candidate after one month, racking up two goals, 12 helpers, 31 shots on net, 14 hits, 21 blocked shots, 14 PIM and a minus-2 rating through 14 contests as the Flyers' top blueliner.

The 27-year-old Sanheim has gotten off to an excellent start this season, recording points in seven of his eight games to open the campaign after posting just 23 points (seven goals, 16 assists) in 81 games last year.

He's also recorded 11 blocked shots, five hits, eight PIM and 14 shots on net while averaging 25:58 of ice time per game, 5:34 more than he averaged in 2022-23.
