• Flyers' Scott Laughton: Standout four-goal performance

  9D ago • By RotoWire

  Laughton scored four goals in a 4-1 victory over the Red Wings on Thursday. Laughton was the man of the hour Thursday. In the second period, he fired a slap shot from the slot on a breakaway that went high on Cam Talbot. Laughton's second goal was a tip-in while shorthanded early in the third period. His third and fourth went into empty nets. It was a career night for the forward, who wired nine shots at Talbot. At 30 years old, Laughton is getting less ice time, and he's playing on the fourth line. However, he continues to contribute occasional offense -- he has seven goals, seven assists and 55 shots over 30 games.

  Laughton scored a goal in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Predators. Laughton netted his third goal of the season midway through the first period. However, and even though he's cracked the scoresheet in back-to-back contests for the first time in 2024-25, his fantasy upside should be close to minimal. His lack of consistency and his fourth-line role are two factors that conspire against his fantasy value.

• Flyers' Scott Laughton: Slides assist Monday

  26D ago • By RotoWire

  Laughton notched an assist and two hits in Monday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Golden Knights. The helper ended a six-game slump for Laughton. The 30-year-old forward has seen his playing time drop -- he's been under 15 minutes in four of the last five games while serving on the fourth line. He's at eight points, 37 shots on net, 66 hits and a minus-13 rating through 22 contests overall. Head coach John Tortorella often shuffles his lines to reward players who are doing well, so Laughton will likely get moved up once his defensive play improves.

He's up to five points, 14 shots on net, 38 hits, six PIM and a minus-5 rating through 11 contests.
