• Flyers' Travis Sanheim: Ends slump with helper

  5D ago • By RotoWire

  Sanheim recorded an assist, seven hits and three blocked shots in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to Utah. Sanheim had gone eight games without a point entering Tuesday, and he had a minus-10 rating with just six hits in that span. The defenseman doled out some physicality and also got back on the scoresheet to put an end to his slump, which has not cost him his top-four spot. The 28-year-old blueliner is now at six goals, 19 helpers, 100 shots on net, 51 hits, 119 blocked shots and a minus-7 rating over 55 appearances. His heavy defensive usage can take a toll on his scoring, but he often sees time in all situations.

  Sanheim logged an assist, two blocked shots, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Ducks. Sanheim helped out on a Ryan Poehling tally in the third period.

The assist ended a four-game point drought for Sanheim, which was his worst slump since he opened the season with no points over five outings. The 28-year-old defenseman is up to 21 points, 74 shots on net, 80 blocked shots, 26 PIM, 25 hits and a plus-3 rating over 37 appearances. Since he does enough in the non-scoring areas, Sanheim's lack of offense recently has not endangered his top-four status.

• Flyers' Travis Sanheim: Improvement noticed by Team Canada

  12/08/2024 • By RotoWire

  Sanheim picked up two assists Saturday in a 4-3 overtime loss to Boston. Sanheim's improvement has been one of the highlights of the Flyers' season. He's fourth in the NHL in average ice time (25:30) and ranks among the league's top 10 in even-strength production from the back end. Sanheim's success has not gone unnoticed -- on Wednesday, he was named to the Team Canada roster for the 4 Nations Face-Off in February. Sanheim has 12 assists, 17 points and 64 blocks in 27 games this season. Only one of his points has come with the man advantage, limiting his fantasy value slightly, but there is plenty of room for a 40-plus point defender who sacrifices his body on most rosters.
