Drysdale recorded a goal, an assist, two shots on goal, a blocked shot and a plus-1 rating in Sunday's 7-4 loss to the Blackhawks.
Drysdale recorded his fourth multi-point game of the season, and first since Jan. 11, but his efforts weren't enough to lift the Flyers to victory. Drysdale hasn't been able to replicate the 32 points he had in his second year in the league in 2021-22, and given his inconsistencies as a scoring option, it would be a stretch to see him reach the 25-point plateau.

Flyers' Jamie Drysdale: Three goals in last six games
Rotowire
Drysdale scored a goal Tuesday in a 5-2 loss to Ottawa.
Drysdale's backhand from the slot bounced off Anton Forsberg and in to tie the game 1-1 early in the second period. He has struggled to find his footing this season, like so many of the Flyers. Drysdale has just 16 points (five goals, 11 assists) in 54 games, but he has three goals in his last six outings (nine blocks, six shots).

Flyers' Jamie Drysdale: Pots lone goal in defeat
Rotowire
Drysdale scored his fourth goal of the season on his only shot and blocked two shots Sunday in a 3-1 loss to New Jersey.
Drysdale has two goals over five outings in March but does not have an assist in that span. The right-shot defenseman got the Flyers on the board late in the game to cut the score to 2-1, but Dawson Mercer's empty-net goal with the man advantage spoiled Philadelphia's comeback attempt. Drysdale is up to four goals and 11 helpers across 53 appearances this season. The 22-year-old is a talented defenseman, but until Philadelphia is able to field a more competitive team, Drysdale's production will likely remain sporadic.

Flyers' Jamie Drysdale: Scores equalizer Saturday
Rotowire
Drysdale scored a goal and added two PIM in Saturday's 2-1 shootout win over the Jets.
Drysdale has earned three points and a plus-3 rating over his last six games. The 22-year-old defenseman converted on an assist from Noah Cates at 3:48 of the second period Saturday, tying the game at 1-1. Drysdale is up to three goals, 14 points, 42 shots on net, 68 blocked shots and a minus-18 rating across 49 appearances. He was limited to a total of 10 points over 42 contests over the last two years combined, so this is a little progress. Drysdale is not at risk of losing his place in the lineup currently, but he doesn't need to be rostered in most fantasy formats.

Flyers' Jamie Drysdale: Scores, assists in win
Rotowire
Drysdale recorded a power-play goal and a power-play assist in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Ducks.
Drysdale snapped a four-game pointless streak with his third multi-point effort, although this was the first time he notched a goal and an assist in the same contest. However, Drysdale has cracked the scoresheet in just two of his last 11 games. While he can put up decent numbers from time to time, Drysdale's lack of consistency limits his fantasy upside considerably in most formats.

Flyers' Jamie Drysdale: Dishes two assists in win
Rotowire
Drysdale notched two assists and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 4-0 win over the Sharks.
Drysdale doubled his point total since he returned from an upper-body injury Dec. 8. The 22-year-old blueliner has four helpers over 11 contests since his return, though he's mainly been stuck on the third pairing. For the season, he has seven points, 23 shots on net, 40 blocked shots and a minus-12 rating through 26 appearances. Without a larger role, his upside is limited, but he is seeing power-play time.

Flyers' Jamie Drysdale: Grabs helper Tuesday
Rotowire
Drysdale notched an assist and went plus-3 in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Blue Jackets.
Drysdale has played on the third pairing and second power-play unit since he returned from a 12-game absence due to an upper-body injury. His helper Tuesday was his first point in two contests since his return. Drysdale is at four points, 13 shots on net, 30 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating through 17 outings. He has a bit of scoring upside, but avoiding injuries will be critical for his success -- he's missed significant time in three straight years.

Flyers' Jamie Drysdale: Off injured reserve
Rotowire
Drysdale is no longer listed on injured reserve, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Flyers' Jamie Drysdale: Considered day-to-day
Rotowire
The Flyers announced Friday that Drysdale (upper body) remains day-to-day while on injured reserve.
Drysdale has been out of action since Nov. 9 versus the Panthers, a stretch of 11 games on the shelf due to his upper-body issue. Prior to getting hurt, the blueliner was mired in an 11-game goal drought in addition to an eight-game pointless streak. While he has reached the 30-point threshold once in his career, that was back in 2021-22 when he was with the Ducks, so fantasy players probably shouldn't be banking on getting a ton of offensive upside from Drysdale.
Drysdale (upper body) skated in a non-contact jersey during Monday's practice, per Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia.
Drysdale will miss his fourth straight game against Colorado on Monday. A timeline for his return remains unclear, but he is progressing slowly. Drysdale has one goal, two assists, 12 shots on net and 28 blocked shots across 15 outings this season. With Drysdale, Cam York (upper body) and Emil Andrae (undisclosed) unavailable, Philadelphia will have Erik Johnson and Helge Grans in the lineup versus the Avalanche.

Flyers' Jamie Drysdale: Surfaces on IR
Rotowire
Drysdale (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Monday, per Jonathan Bailey of Philly Hockey Now.
According to Jackie Spiegel of The Philadelphia Inquirer, Drysdale is dealing with an upper-body injury. The 22-year-old blueliner won't play Monday versus San Jose, and his placement on IR will make him ineligible to return until at least Nov. 18 versus Colorado. Drysdale has one goal, two assists, 12 shots on net and 28 blocked shots through 15 appearances this season. Erik Johnson will replace Drysdale in Monday's lineup.

Flyers' Jamie Drysdale: Won't play Monday
Rotowire
Drysdale won't play in Monday's game against San Jose due to an undisclosed injury, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Drysdale had appeared in each of the Flyers' first 15 games of the regular season, racking up a goal, three points and 28 blocked shots while averaging 20:35 of ice time. However, head coach John Tortorella said Drysdale is "dinged up" ahead of Monday's matchup and will be unavailable for at least one game. It's not yet clear when the 22-year-old blueliner will be able to return, but Erik Johnson will draw into the lineup against the Sharks.

Flyers' Jamie Drysdale: Gathers two helpers
Rotowire
Drysdale notched two power-play assists and three blocked shots in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Capitals.
Drysdale helped out on goals by Travis Konecny and Matvei Michkov. This was Drysdale's first multi-point effort of the campaign, and all three of his points so far have come with the man advantage. The 22-year-old defenseman has added five shots on goal, 14 blocked shots and a minus-10 rating over seven appearances in a top-four role.

Flyers' Jamie Drysdale: Fully recovered from surgery
Rotowire
Drysdale is fully healthy after undergoing sports hernia surgery during the offseason, Adam Kimelman of NHL.com reports Tuesday.
Drysdale will now have a full season with Philadelphia after being traded from Anaheim during the 2023-24 season. Between both clubs, Drysdale registered 10 points and a minus-20 rating in 34 regular-season contests. The 22-year-old will fill a top-four role and quarterback one of the Flyers' power-play units in 2024-25. Drysdale's career-high in points came in 2021-22 with Anaheim -- he logged 32 points in 81 regular-season outings during that campaign.

Flyers' Jamie Drysdale: Suiting up Monday
Rotowire
Drysdale (upper body) will be in the lineup against the Islanders on Monday.
Drysdale has been out of action since Feb. 25 versus the Penguins, a stretch of 16 games on the shelf due to his upper-body injury. With just one point in his 11 games prior to getting hurt, the blueliner probably shouldn't be expected to offer much in the way of fantasy value moving forward. With Drysdale back in action, Adam Ginning figures to be relegated to the press box or even sent back to AHL Lehigh Valley.

Flyers' Jamie Drysdale: Moves to injured reserve
Rotowire
Drysdale (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, per CapFriendly.
Drysdale was already deemed week-to-week, so this move is simply to free up a roster spot for the Flyers. Egor Zamula has the most to gain from Drysdale's absence, as he'll likely absorb Drysdale's power-play ice time while featuring more consistently in the lineup in general.

Flyers' Jamie Drysdale: Missing extended time
Rotowire
Drysdale (undisclosed) is week-to-week but could return before the end of the season, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Drysdale took an open-ice hit Sunday against the Penguins and appeared to have injured his shoulder. The 21-year-old injured that same shoulder during the 2022-23 season, limiting him to just eight total games. Drysdale has four points in 17 games since being acquired by the Flyers. In his absence, Egor Zamula should see more consistent playing time.

Flyers' Jamie Drysdale: Finds twine in win
Rotowire
Drysdale scored a goal on two shots in Monday's 5-3 win over the Coyotes.
Drysdale has two goals over his last seven contests. The 21-year-old continues to see top-four usage, though his ice time tends to drop when the Flyers dress seven defensemen as they did Monday. Drysdale is at three goals, six assists, 36 shots on net, 29 blocked shots and a minus-8 rating through 22 appearances between the Flyers and the Ducks this season.
