Flyers' Nick Schultz: Not expected to return to Philly
Schultz said he knows he will not be back with the Flyers after logging just 28 games in the 2016-17 season, Sam Carchidi of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Schultz is hopeful of getting an opportunity with another organization. He will become an unrestricted free agent July 1, and the 34-year-old defenseman has a long way to go before he can be trusted by fantasy owners.

Flyers' Nick Schultz: Logs just 14:54 of ice time
Schultz played just 14:54 during Thursday's win over Minnesota.
The veteran rearguard has played just 23 games this season and has only four assists. Considering his lack of playing time and underwhelming offensive numbers, there is no reason to make Schultz a fantasy priority in any setting.

Flyers' Nick Schultz: Rarely playing
Schultz has dressed for just three of the past 16 games.
The veteran defenseman has only met the 20-point plateau once in his career (2009-10), so he's never been a viable fantasy option. However, this season represents the first time he's been frequenting the press box. Continue to ignore Schultz in all fantasy settings.

Flyers' Nick Schultz: Spending plenty of time in press box
Schultz has played just 13 games this season as he's commonly been a healthy scratch.
The veteran defenseman played 161 games through his first two seasons with Philadelphia, so his lack of playing time is a little surprising. Schultz is on the final year of a $2.25 million contract, so there is a chance he's dealt leading into the trade deadline. However, it's unlikely he's utilized as anything more than a depth defenseman with another team, either. Schultz is fully off the fantasy radar at this point.

Flyers' Nick Schultz: Skates on Sunday
Schultz (knee) is skating Sunday, Tim Panaccio of CSN Philly reports.
Schultz suffered a sprained knee at the end of September and was originally given a 4-to-7 day timeline for a return. It's been four days since that projection was given, so it comes as no surprise Schultz is back on the ice Sunday. It appears he's over the knee injury and as long as he doesn't suffer any setbacks over the next few days, it's safe to assume he'll be healthy for the start of the regular season.

Schultz is dealing with a sprained knee, Tim Panaccio of CSN Philadelphia reports.
The Flyers announced Wednesday that Schultz had suffered a lower-body injury, and was expected to miss 4-to-7 days.

Flyers' Nick Schultz: Could be dealt as trade deadline nears
Schultz could be dealt by the Flyers before Monday's trade deadline, according to Sam Carchidi of the Inquirer.
With a minus-1 rating and and seven points in 59 games this season, it's hard to imagine a trade impacting his fantasy value. He's off his pace of 15 points from last season, and he's reach the 20-point threshold only once in his career.

Flyers' Nick Schultz: Collects assist in win
Schultz collected a helper and two PIM in Tuesday's 4-3 win over Montreal.
Schultz has never been a prolific points producer on defense, and he's on pace for just 10 points this season. Strangely, he's fared better on the road this season, collecting his four of his five helpers when he's team travels. He faces his former team, the Wild, Thursday in Minnesota, so if you're in desperate need of a long shot on defense, he could warrant a start.

Flyers' Nick Schultz: Set to return to action Friday
Schultz (upper body) will return to action Friday against the Devils, Sam Carchidi of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Schultz exited Saturday's game against the Rangers in the first period with an upper-body injury, and ultimately was unable to return to the contest. He returned to practice Monday, but didn't feel well enough to suit up for Tuesday's matchup with Ottawa. The 33-year-old blueliner practiced again Thursday, and is now healthy enough to draw back into Philadelphia's lineup for Friday's tilt against the Devils. Schultz, who has tallied a single assist in 24 games this season, is expected to skate alongside Yevgeni Medvedev on the Flyers' second pairing in Friday's game.

Flyers' Nick Schultz: Out Tuesday
Schultz (upper body) won't play Tuesday against the Senators, Sam Carchidi of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Schultz exited Saturday's game against the Rangers in the first period after being leveled by New York's Dylan McIlrath, and was ultimately unable to return to the contest. The 33-year-old blueliner took part in Tuesday's morning skate, but still isn't well enough to suit up for Tuesday evening's tilt against Ottawa. He'll hope to return to action Friday against the Devils. Brandon Manning is expected to slot into Philadelphia's lineup in Schultz's absence.

Flyers' Nick Schultz: Practices Monday
Schultz (upper body) took part in practice Monday, and indicated afterwards that he felt fine, but will see how he feels Tuesday.
Schultz was injured in Saturday's game against the Rangers after taking a hard check early on in the contest. While it seems more likely than not that he'll be available Tuesday, Brandon Manning would draw into the lineup in his place, but the pairings would remain the same if Schultz plays.

Flyers' Nick Schultz: Exits Saturday's game with upper-body injury
Schultz has been ruled out of the remainder of Saturday's tilt against the Rangers with an upper-body injury.
Schultz took a big hit from New York's Dylan McIlrath in the first period of Saturday's contest against the Rangers, and headed to the Flyers' locker room shortly thereafter as a result. The exact nature of the ailment remains unclear, but the Flyers' should provide an update on Schultz' status once they have an opportunity to evaluate him further.
