• Flyers' Rasmus Ristolainen: Skating prior to camp

  7D ago • By RotoWire

  Ristolainen (triceps) was seen skating with his teammates Sept. 3 and is expected to be ready for the start of training camp, Jon Bailey of Philly Hockey Now reports. Ristolainen sustained the injury in February but didn't undergo surgery until April. While it was described as a ruptured triceps tendon, the procedure was never expected to keep Ristolainen out at the start of the preseason. He should be in the mix for a bottom-four role in 2024-25, though he's unlikely to provide much offense since he's reached the 20-point mark in just one of his three years with the Flyers.

• Flyers' Rasmus Ristolainen: Set to miss at least 2-3 weeks

  02/14/2024 • By RotoWire

  Ristolainen (upper body) will undergo a procedure in 2-3 weeks and will be re-evaluated at that point, Kevin Kurz of The Athletic reports. Ristolainen is currently stuck in a 15-game goal drought during which he's managed just one assist and 23 shots. As such, the majority of fantasy players are unlikely to be impacted by his absence. With Ristolainen unavailable, Marc Staal and Egor Zamula should see upticks in ice time.
