Sanheim (undisclosed) won't be available for Sunday's game against Washington, Sam Carchidi of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

The specifics of the absence remain unclear, but the absence is a bit concerning, especially considering Sanheim took the ice for practice Saturday. The 24-year-old has been having a solid start to the season, recording five points across 12 games to this point. In his stead, Philippe Myers (upper body) will return from a one-game absence to draw back into the lineup.

Sanheim recorded two assists and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Bruins.

EDGE Analysis

Sanheim had a hand in the Flyers' first two goals of the game, as he recorded primary helpers on tallies from Kevin Hayes and Jakub Voracek. The 24-year-old Sanheim has been steady on the blue line with five points, 15 hits, 10 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through 11 appearances. He doesn't have much of a wow-factor, but he could be a steady contributor to fantasy managers in deeper formats.

Sanheim notched an assist in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Islanders in Game 4.

EDGE Analysis

Sanheim has racked up three helpers in his last five games. The 24-year-old blueliner has six points (one goal, five assists), 29 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating through 13 contests. He's adjusted well to a top-pairing role, which has included chipping in on offense with some regularity.

Sanheim registered an assist in Friday's 3-2 win over the Canadiens in Game 6.

EDGE Analysis

Sanheim set up Michael Raffl for the game-winning and series-clinching goal at 4:26 of the second period. The 24-year-old Sanheim had two assists in six games during the series, and he's managed a goal and three helpers in nine outings overall. The blueliner has added 12 shots on goal, 22 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating in the playoffs. He's skated more than 20 minutes in each of his last five games -- Sanheim is seeing an increased role in the Flyers' defense corps.

Sanheim registered an assist in Wednesday's 2-1 win over the Canadiens in Game 1 of their first-round series.

EDGE Analysis

Sanheim set up Joel Farabee for what would be the game-winning goal at 14:54 of the second period. In four postseason games, Sanheim has a goal, two helpers, a plus-6 rating, eight shots and 13 blocked shots. He's playing a key role on the second pairing for the Flyers, although the blueliner had only 25 points in 69 regular-season contests, so his scoring pace could be expected to dip as the playoffs go on.

Sanheim had eight goals and 25 points in 69 games prior to the NHL suspending the season in March because of the coronavirus.

EDGE Analysis

The 24-year-old heated up prior to the stoppage, tallying one goal and nine points with a plus-6 rating in 14 games. He won't match his 35 points from last season, but Sanheim could realistically score two more goals in the final 13 games to post 10 goals for the first time in his career. He also has a plus-4 rating, 32 PIM and 110 shots on net in 69 games this season.

Sanheim picked up two assists, one on the power play, in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

It was a good day to be on the special teams units for either club -- of the eight goals scored between them, six came on the power play and one was a shortie. Sanheim is on a bit of a heater by his standards, scoring one goal and seven points in the last 10 games, and on the season the 23-year-old is up to 23 points (eight goals, 15 helpers) through 65 contests.

Sanheim has one goal and three points with a plus-3 rating in the last 10 games.

EDGE Analysis

It's not quite the production he was experiencing earlier in the season, but Sanheim is putting together a strong campaign. He's just one goal shy of tying a career high, and he's on the verge of pushing his plus/minus out of the negative. Sanheim has eight goals and 18 points with a minus-1 rating in 58 games this season.

Sanheim had three shots on net with no points and one hit in a 4-3 overtime loss to the Penguins on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The 23-year-old has one assist in five games since scoring twice against the Bruins on Jan. 13. Even with three more shots Friday, Sanheim has a very high 8.5 shooting percentage, which just isn't sustainable for a defenseman. He's racking up more shots lately, but signs point to Sanheim experiencing a slower second half, especially if he doesn't get more helpers. He has seven goals and 16 points with a minus-2 rating in 51 games this season.

Sanheim scored two goals in Monday's 6-5 shootout win over the Bruins.

EDGE Analysis

The blueliner was in the right place at the right time early in the second period and again midway through the third to score what proved to be the tying goal and complete a comeback from a 5-2 deficit. Sanheim has only seven goals and 15 points through 46 games on the season, but he has two two-goal performances in his last 10 contests.
