Andrae (undisclosed) was a full practice participant Friday, Charlie O'Connor of PHLY Sports reports, indicating he could be an option versus Chicago on Saturday.
Since Cam York (upper body) is also nearing a return to action, Andrae suddenly finds himself in a crowded mix for blue-line minutes. The eventual return of Jamie Drysdale (upper body) may push Andrae even further down the depth chart. Over his 10 outings this year, the 22-year-old Andrae has registered three assists, 13 shots and eight PIM while dishing out 15 hits.

Flyers' Emil Andrae: Dealing with injury
Rotowire
Andrae (undisclosed) missed the last 9:21 of Saturday's game versus the Sabres due to an injury, Adam Kimelman of NHL.com reports.
Head coach John Tortorella did not have an update on the nature or severity of Andrae's injury in his postgame comments. Andrae has played well in a top-four role, so this injury could have an impact on the Flyers' defense, though that could be mitigated if Cam York (upper body) or Jamie Drysdale (upper body) is able to return soon. Andrae's status should be updated prior to Monday's game versus the Avalanche.

Flyers' Emil Andrae: Drops to AHL
Rotowire
Andrae was reassigned to AHL Lehigh Valley on Wednesday, per CapFriendly.
Andrae has played in four of six games for the Flyers so far, but he has yet to record his first NHL point. The defenseman has added six blocked shots, two hits and a minus-1 rating while averaging 13:00 of ice time per game.
