Drysdale notched an assist and went plus-3 in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Blue Jackets. Drysdale has played on the third pairing and second power-play unit since he returned from a 12-game absence due to an upper-body injury. His helper Tuesday was his first point in two contests since his return. Drysdale is at four points, 13 shots on net, 30 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating through 17 outings. He has a bit of scoring upside, but avoiding injuries will be critical for his success -- he's missed significant time in three straight years.

Drysdale is no longer listed on injured reserve, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports. Drysdale had missed the Flyers' last 12 games since suffering an upper-body injury Nov. 9, though it appears the young defenseman is poised to return Sunday against Utah. Drysdale has a goal and three points in 15 games this season.

The Flyers announced Friday that Drysdale (upper body) remains day-to-day while on injured reserve. Drysdale has been out of action since Nov. 9 versus the Panthers, a stretch of 11 games on the shelf due to his upper-body issue. Prior to getting hurt, the blueliner was mired in an 11-game goal drought in addition to an eight-game pointless streak. While he has reached the 30-point threshold once in his career, that was back in 2021-22 when he was with the Ducks, so fantasy players probably shouldn't be banking on getting a ton of offensive upside from Drysdale.

Drysdale (upper body) skated in a non-contact jersey during Monday's practice, per Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia. Drysdale will miss his fourth straight game against Colorado on Monday. A timeline for his return remains unclear, but he is progressing slowly. Drysdale has one goal, two assists, 12 shots on net and 28 blocked shots across 15 outings this season. With Drysdale, Cam York (upper body) and Emil Andrae (undisclosed) unavailable, Philadelphia will have Erik Johnson and Helge Grans in the lineup versus the Avalanche.

Drysdale (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Monday, per Jonathan Bailey of Philly Hockey Now. According to Jackie Spiegel of The Philadelphia Inquirer, Drysdale is dealing with an upper-body injury. The 22-year-old blueliner won't play Monday versus San Jose, and his placement on IR will make him ineligible to return until at least Nov. 18 versus Colorado. Drysdale has one goal, two assists, 12 shots on net and 28 blocked shots through 15 appearances this season. Erik Johnson will replace Drysdale in Monday's lineup.
