Poehling scored his first goal of the season in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the Hurricanes.
The 25-year-old center used a partial screen from a Carolina defender to sneak a shot past Pyotr Kochetkov early in the second period. Poehling's checking-line role gives him little fantasy appeal, but he is on pace for a career-best season with seven points through 17 appearances.

Flyers' Ryan Poehling: Three points against Jackets
Rotowire
Poehling scored a shorthanded goal that proved to be the game-winner and delivered two assists in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
The 24-year-old came into Sunday with just one goal and two points through 14 games.

Poehling was taken 25th overall by Montreal in the 2017 NHL Draft and posted 14 goals and 31 points over 35 games in his last couple AHL stints. As long as he remains in a bottom-six role with the Flyers, opportunities to show he might have some untapped offensive upside will be few and far between.

Penguins' Ryan Poehling: Scores goal Sunday
Rotowire
Poehling scored a goal on two shots versus the Flyers on Sunday.
Poehling has recorded two goals, one assist and 12 shots in 10 games back from an upper-body injury.

As such, Poehling figures to remain off the fantasy radar in most formats.
