Glendening posted an assist, two shots on goal and four hits in Monday's 6-2 loss to the Rangers.
Glendening was claimed off waivers from the Devils on Friday, and this was his second game with the Flyers. The 36-year-old will compete for fourth-line minutes, though it's a less crowded competition than there was in New Jersey. Glendening is not a factor in fantasy -- he has just five helpers with 32 shots on net, 72 hits, 47 blocked shots and a minus-11 rating over 54 contests this season.

Flyers' Luke Glendening: Claimed off waivers
Rotowire
Glendening was claimed off waivers by Philadelphia from New Jersey on Friday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
Philadelphia dealt Bobby Brink to Minnesota on Friday in exchange for defenseman David Jiricek, so Glendening will provide the Flyers with a bit of needed forward depth following that trade. However, Glendening shouldn't be counted on to do much, if anything, offensively. The 36-year-old Glendening has four assists, four PIM, 66 hits and 45 blocks in 52 appearances in 2025-26. If Glendening plays for the Flyers, it will probably be as a member of the fourth line.

Devils' Luke Glendening: Designated for waivers
Rotowire
Glendening was placed on waivers by the Devils on Thursday.
By putting Glendening on waivers, the team will be able to move him down to the minors in the future, assuming he goes unclaimed. The Devils did the same with Evgenii Dadonov and Maxim Tsyplakov, which could be a sign they are finalizing a deal to bring a player or two in via trade. For his part, Glendening has featured in just four of the team's last 14 contests and has gone 11 games without generating a point.

Devils' Luke Glendening: No room in lineup
Rotowire
Glendening has been a healthy scratch for the last six games after sitting out Wednesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Maple Leafs.
There's no room for Glendening in the lineup, especially after Nick Bjugstad was acquired from the Blues on Feb. 4. Until an injury opens a spot, Glendening will likely remain in the press box. The 36-year-old has just four helpers with 30 shots on net, 66 hits, 45 blocked shots and a minus-11 rating over 52 appearances this season, so his time out of the lineup won't be noticed in fantasy.

Devils' Luke Glendening: Pockets helper in win
Rotowire
Glendening notched an assist in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Mammoth.
Glendening ended a 28-game point drought by setting up another struggling player, Dougie Hamilton, for a second-period goal. Playing on the fourth line has done nothing to help Glendening's offense -- he has just four assists over 41 appearances this season. He's added 22 shots on net, 57 hits, 35 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating. The 36-year-old's defensive nature and limited usage make him a non-factor in fantasy.

Devils' Luke Glendening: Stuck in slump
Rotowire
Glendening's point drought reached 15 games in Wednesday's 3-0 loss to the Stars.
While none of the Devils had a particularly good game Wednesday, Glendening has now gone over a month without a point. That's to be expected for a player who sees mostly defensive usage in a fourth-line role. The 36-year-old has three assists, 16 shots on net, 35 hits, 23 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating over 27 appearances this season. Glendening's place in the lineup should remain safe until Jack Hughes (finger) is healthy, which isn't expected to happen until early January.

Rotowire
Glendening scored a goal in Saturday's 5-1 win over Florida in Game 3. '
Glendening isn't known for his offense, but it was a pretty snipe. He scored on a 2-on-1 off a pass from Yanni Gourde in the third period. It put the Bolts up 4-1. Glendening has 48 postseason games on his resume, but he hadn't put up a playoff point since 2022-23 when he skated with Dallas.

Lightning's Luke Glendening: Could play Tuesday
Rotowire
Glendening (upper body) is available for Game 1 against the Panthers on Tuesday, Amalie Benjamin of NHL.com reports.
Glendening sat out the last four games of the regular season after getting hurt against Toronto on April 9. The Lightning ruled him out indefinitely as of April 11, so the 35-year-old seemingly made great strides in recovering from his injury. He'll be an option to center the fourth line Tuesday. Glendening has accounted for five goals, eight points and a minus-10 rating over 45 career postseason outings.

Lightning's Luke Glendening: Ruled out indefinitely
Rotowire
The Lightning announced Friday that Glendening has been ruled out indefinitely due to an upper-body injury.
Glendening had already been ruled out for Friday's game against the Red Wings after sustaining an injury Wednesday against the Maple Leafs. It appears as though he'll face a multi-game absence to close out the regular season, and it's unclear whether he'll be available for the start of the playoffs. The Lightning have just four regular-season games remaining, concluding with a road game against the Rangers on Thursday, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him held out for all four of those matchups.

Lightning's Luke Glendening: Exits Wednesday's game
Rotowire
Glendening (undisclosed) won't return to Wednesday's game versus the Maple Leafs, Gabby Shirley of FanDuel Sports Network Florida & Sun reports.
Glendening was hurt late in the first period and ultimately wasn't able to return to action. If the 35-year-old forward remains out Friday versus the Red Wings, Cam Atkinson or Jake Guentzel (personal) could rejoin the lineup to take his place. Glendening is in a fourth-line role, so his potential absence won't have a significant impact in fantasy.

Lightning's Luke Glendening: Back with squad Thursday
Rotowire
Glendening (personal) rejoined the Lightning ahead of Thursday's game against Ottawa, Gabby Shirley of FanDuel Sports Network Florida & Sun reports.
Glendening sat out Tuesday's clash with the Islanders for the birth of his child, but he is back in the mix for Thursday's tilt. The 35-year-old forward is currently mired in a 17-game pointless streak dating back to Feb. 23 versus the Kraken. During that slump, the Michigan native has managed a mere nine shots but has chipped in 19 hits and 17 blocks while averaging 11:17 of ice time.

Lightning's Luke Glendening: Lacking on offense
Rotowire
Glendening's point drought reached 16 games in Thursday's 8-0 win over Utah.
In that span, Glendening has just nine shots on net to go with 19 hits and 17 blocked shots. The 35-year-old has always been a defensive center, so a slump of this length is not a massive surprise, but he was one of five Lightning skaters who failed to get on the scoresheet in Thursday's blowout win. Overall, Glendening is at just seven points with 50 shots on net, 101 hits, 57 blocked shots and a minus-8 rating across 72 appearances.
