| C | 1 | Claude Giroux  ActiveClaude Giroux has two goals and six points in four games with Team Canada in the 2017 World Championship. Giroux is serving as the captain for Canada, which has gotten off to a 4-0 start in the tournament. He had a rough 2016-17 campaign by his standards with 14 goals and 58 points in 82 contests, but so far it's looking like playing in the Worlds will allow him to enter the summer on a more positive note. May 12 |
| 2 | Valtteri Filppula ActiveThe Philadelphia Flyers were happy with the play of Valtteri Filppula after they acquired him from Tampa Bay at the trade deadline. Filppula had five goals and eight points in 20 games but GM Ron Hextall is looking forward to next season when he has him for all 82 games. "I felt like later in the year, we had more bullets in our gun," Hextall said. "(Jordan) Weal comes in and does a good job. Filppula comes in and really gives us stability. Really upgraded our top nine. So when you're talking 5-on-5 play, just to depend on five or six guys, all of a sudden you have nine guys you can count on." Filppula ended the campaign with 12 goals and 42 points so look for similar numbers next season if he remains healthy. Apr 23 |
| 3 | Sean Couturier ActiveSean Couturier had a strong finish to the 2016-17 campaign. While plus/minus always needs to be taken with a grain of salt, Couturier had a plus-18 rating in his final 19 games. He was also strong offensively over that span with five goals and 17 points. "Sean Couturier was playing the best hockey I've ever seen him play," teammate Jakub Voracek said. Couturier's overall campaign was nothing out of the ordinary though as he finished with 14 goals, 34 points, and a plus-12 rating in 66 games. So the question now is if his hot finish was a taste of things to come or just part of an inconsistent campaign. Couturier, 24, has always had offensive upside, but he's failed to reach the 40-point mark in any of his first six NHL campaigns. Apr 20 |
| 4 | Nick Cousins ActiveNick Cousins got back in the lineup on Sunday. It was his first game since Mar. 15 due to a concussion. Cousins had four shots in 17:04 of ice time in a 4-3 shootout loss to Carolina. Apr 10 |
| 5 | Jordan Weal ActiveJordan Weal (flu) returned to action on Saturday. Weal saw his five game points streak end on Saturday. He entered the season with nary a point in 14 NHL games but this season had eight goals and 11 points in 22 games. The soon to be 25-year-old, could be an interesting late round choice in very deep leagues next season. Apr 9 |
| 6 | Roman Lyubimov ActiveRoman Lyubimov will be a healthy scratch in Tuesday's game against the New Jersey Devils. He's been a healthy scratch in every game since Mar. 15. Lyubimov has four goals and one assist in 46 games this season. Jordan Weal, Brandon Manning, Matt Read, Michal Neuvirth and Radko Gudas are all out because of various injuries. Apr 4 |
| 7 | Michael Vecchione ActiveMichael Vecchione played in his first NHL game on Tuesday. Vecchione was used sparingly though as he logged just 8:15 minutes of ice time in the 1-0 overtime loss to New Jersey. In that limited playing time, Vecchione did record a shot on goal, a hit, and blocked a shot. He had 29 goals and 63 points in 38 games with Union College this season. Apr 5 |
| LW | 1 | Michael Raffl ActiveMichal Raffl will be sidelined for six-to-eight weeks with a lower body injury. He is likely done for the season. Through 52 games he has posted eight goals and 11 points with 91 hits. Mar 1 |
| 2 | Brayden Schenn ActiveBrayden Schenn notched a pair of assists in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Blue Jackets. Schenn has two goals and six points in his last five games. For the season he has 25 goals and 56 points. He needs one goal and three points to match his career-highs. Apr 8 |
| 3 | Matt Read ActiveMatt Read will miss the next six-to-eight weeks with an upper-body injury. Read blocked a shot off his arm on Thursday, so the problem is question is likely a broken arm. With so little time left in the 2016-17 campaign, Read is out for the rest of the regular season. The Flyers are a long shot to make the playoffs at this point, so we probably won't see Read again until training camp. Mar 31 |
| 4 | Travis Konecny ActiveTravis Konecny isn't discouraged by his sometimes rough rookie season. Konecny has 11 goals and 28 points in 68 games this season. He's averaged 14:10 minutes per game and has spent some time in the press box. "There are guys in this room, who tell me they have gone through the exact same things I have gone through during my first year," Konecny said. "Whether it's being scratched a few times or playing on the fourth line through the first, anywhere in the lineup. It's all part of the game. I learned this year to stay confident and work hard. Eventually, you get your chances." He's got a lot of upside, so it will be interesting to see how he responds in his sophomore campaign. Apr 8 |
| 5 | Chris VandeVelde ActiveChris VandeVelde and Roman Lyubimov will be scratched from Sunday's finale with Carolina. VandeVelde's season wraps up with six goals and 15 points along with 60 blocks and 114 hits in 81 games. Lyubimov meanwhile picked up six points in 47 games as a rookie. Apr 9 |
| RW | 1 | Jakub Voracek ActiveJakub Voracek is projected to play with Claude Giroux and Matt Read on Thursday night. Voracek hasn't scored a goal in 10 straight games and he has just four assists during that span, so a reunion with Giroux could help. Valtteri Filppula is slated to skate between Wayne Simmonds and Jordan Weal. Mar 22 |
| 2 | Wayne Simmonds ActiveWayne Simmonds has been nominated for the NHL Foundation Player Award. The award is given to "an NHL player who applies the core values of hockey – commitment,
perseverance and teamwork – to enrich the lives of people in his community." The winner of the award will receive $25,000 to donate to the charity of their choice. Wayne's Road Hockey Warriors has helped raise $100,000 through this event. Apr 25 |
| 3 | Pierre-Edouard Bellemare ActivePierre-Edouard Bellemare scored once and assisted on another to lead France to a 5-1 upset win over Finland at the World Championships. You probably got great odds if you bet on the French as Finland were prohibitive favorites to win. The real star of the game was France’s netminder Florian Hardy who stopped 42 of 43 Finnish shots. The 32-year-old has played the last two seasons in Austria and has never been a factor at the world level until this week. Bellemare had four goals and eight points in a full NHL season so he has no fantasy value next year in pools. May 8 |
| 4 | Dale Weise ActiveDale Weise has undergone elbow surgery due to bone spurs in the area. Weise should still be fine for training camp. He had eight goals and 15 points in 64 contests this season. Apr 13 |
| D | 1 | Ivan Provorov ActiveIvan Provorov has been named the winner of the Barry Ashbee award given to the Flyers best defenseman. Not too shabby for a 20-year-old blueliner to be named the team's top defenseman but Provorov is a top talent who will only get better. "It was a huge honor," said Provorov, the youngest Ashbee winner in franchise history. "Lots of good defensemen won this award in the past. I couldn’t have done this alone without my teammates and all the D partners I have played with, so just a huge thanks to them. We will keep getting better. I will keep getting better." He was the third rookie defenseman to win the award and second in a row as Shayne Gostisbehere won it last season. Apr 9 |
| 2 | Shayne Gostisbehere ActiveShayne Gostisbehere notched a goal and an assist in a 6-2 win over Pittsburgh on Sunday night. The Ghost now has seven goals and 33 points in 69 games this season. It snaps a five game pointless drought, Gostisbehere also picked up two penalty minutes and five shots in the game. Mar 26 |
| 3 | Michael Del Zotto ActiveMichael Del Zotto scored sixth goal of the season during Saturday's 4-2 win over Columbus. That gives Del Zotto 18 points in 50 games with the Flyers this season. Apr 8 |
| 4 | Nick Schultz ActiveNick Schultz will return to action on the blue line on Sunday against the Rangers. Schultz'll skate to the left of Brandon Manning to form Philadelphia's third defensive unit. Over two dozen games this season Schultz has posted four assists with 10 PIMs, 36 hits and 48 blocks. Apr 2 |
| 5 | Radko Gudas ActiveRadko Gudas may have suffered concussion symptoms on Saturday and as a result sat out Sunday's game. The rugged blueliner has six goals and 23 points this season with 93 penalty minutes, 124 blocked shots and 280 hits. If you play the funky categories, Gudas has been a good selection. Apr 3 |
| 6 | Brandon Manning ActiveBrandon Manning has undergone minor disc surgery in his back. We don't have a timetable for Manning's recovery, but given that the procedure has been termed as minor, we imagine he'll be fine for training camp. He finished the 2016-17 campaign with 12 points and 83 penalty minutes in 65 games. Apr 13 |
| 7 | Andrew MacDonald ActiveAndy MacDonald and Nick Schultz will be scratched against the Canucks on Sunday. It'll be the first time since Nov. 19th that MacDonald has been sat down. Through 50 games this season the veteran defender has two goals and 13 points along with 105 blocks. Feb 19 |
| G | 1 | Steve Mason ActiveFlyers GM Ron Hextall isn't ruling out the possibility of re-signing goaltender Steve Mason, who can become an unrestricted free agent this summer. "Obviously, Steve Mason is still an option for us but we’re going to look around and see what else is out there," Flyers GM Ron Hextall said Wednesday on NHL Radio. "In the end we’ll decide what our best option is." That being said, we would be a little surprised if Mason does end up back in Philadelphia. The Flyers have already signed Michal Neuvirth to a two-year, $3.25 million contract and while you might argue that Philadelphia can simply continue to go with the same tandem of Neuvirth and Mason that they've had in the past, Mason might pass on that. Mason argued recently that goaltending platoons don't work, so he might want to avoid getting into one if he can at all avoid it. Mason had a 2.66 GAA and .908 save percentage in 58 games in 2016-17. May 4 |
| 2 | Michal Neuvirth ActiveFlyers GM Ron Hextall still has confidence in Michal Neuvirth. "I really believe [he] is going to come back focused," Hextall said. "He was really good for us last year. This year, he was kind of reflective of our team. He was inconsistent. He had some good times and some times that weren't very good. I expect [him] to come back and be a really good player for us. In saying that, we need two guys." Neuvirth got a two-year contract extension in March and Steve Mason could be an unrestricted free agent on July 1. Apr 15 |
