• Flyers' Rasmus Ristolainen: Supplies assist Saturday

  11/10/2024 • By RotoWire

  Ristolainen notched an assist, four hits and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Panthers. Ristolainen ended a six-game point drought with the helper. The 30-year-old defenseman has played firmly in a top-four role over the last eight games, a span that includes all three of his points through 15 outings this season. He's added 12 shots on net, 31 hits, 22 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating. Ristolainen had all of four points over 31 contests in 2023-24, so he looks to be poised for a bounce-back campaign by virtue of being healthy in 2024-25, though he is four years removed from his last 30-point season.

• Flyers' Rasmus Ristolainen: Skating prior to camp

  09/11/2024 • 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.
