Flyers' Nick Seeler: On injured reserve
Rotowire
Seeler was placed on injured reserve Friday, retroactive to Oct. 1.
Seeler was already ruled out for Philadelphia's Opening Night against Vancouver on Friday. This move allows the Flyers to summon Emil Andrae from the minors, though it's not clear if Andrae will draw into the lineup instead of Erik Johnson, who would have otherwise played in Seeler's absence. Once Seeler is healthy, he will likely serve on the second or third pairing.

Flyers' Nick Seeler: Scores Tuesday
Rotowire
Seeler logged a goal, two shots, and two hits in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Vegas.
Seeler tallied one of the more unexpected goals of the year, dangling around a Knights' defenseman before going top shelf on Jonathan Quick.

Seeler finally broke through his 10-game pointless streak but remains stuck in a 27-game goal drought dating back to Dec. 23 versus Carolina. The 29-year-old defenseman has never reached the 20-point threshold in his career and is unlikely to do so this season.

Flyers' Nick Seeler: Pockets helper Thursday
Rotowire
Seeler notched an assist, four shots on goal and three hits in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Sharks.
Seeler has a goal and an assist in the Flyers' last two games. That's good work for a defenseman who had been scratched for a couple of contests due to a 14-game point drought that dated back to before American Thanksgiving. The 29-year-old rarely sees more than third-pairing minutes. With seven points, 38 shots on net, 49 hits, 53 blocked shots, 28 PIM and a plus-3 rating, he's usually not productive enough to earn consideration in fantasy.

Rotowire
Seeler connected on a rare marker, but the Flyers endured a 4-3 loss to the Panthers on Wednesday.
Seeler gave the Flyers a spark. It was brief, but the 29-year-old defenseman displayed his athleticism with his first goal of the season.

Before Seeler's effort at 16:31 of the first period, the Panthers were outshot, 10-3, and failed to generate a shot on goal in nearly 12 minutes. In 152 career games, Seeler has four goals.

Flyers' Nick Seeler: Healthy at camp
Rotowire

Seeler missed the last month of the regular season in 2021-22, but the 29-year-old defenseman is healthy again at training camp. He's in the mix for a bottom-pairing role this year, though he's on a two-way contract and likely to spend some time at AHL Lehigh Valley.
