NHL Player News

Drysdale is no longer listed on injured reserve, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Drysdale had missed the Flyers' last 12 games since suffering an upper-body injury Nov. 9, though it appears the young defenseman is poised to return Sunday against Utah. Drysdale has a goal and three points in 15 games this season.

Provorov (upper body) will be a game-time decision Sunday against Winnipeg, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.

After leaving Friday's contest with an upper-body injury, Provorov will "test things out" ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Jets. If Provorov ultimately can't go, Jack Johnson would likely enter the lineup.

Korchinski was recalled from AHL Rockford on Sunday, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Korchinski started the year in the minors after recording five goals, 15 points and a minus-39 rating in 76 games with Chicago last season. The 20-year-old defenseman could slot into a bottom-four role in Monday's road matchup with the Rangers.

Makar scored a power-play goal in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Red Wings.

Makar ended an eight-game goal drought by scoring what turned out to be the game-winning goal early in the second period. The star blueliner had been in a bit of a slump by his elite standards, notching just five points (one goal, four helpers) across his last seven contests. That said, he's still putting up elite numbers with 35 points in 28 appearances.

Gostisbehere collected three assists, two on the power play, in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Islanders.

The three-point effort was a season high for Gostisbehere, and it continued a scoring surge that has seen him compile 15 points -- one goal and 14 helpers -- over the last 13 contests. The veteran blueliner appears to have made the right choice by signing with Carolina in the offseason, and he's on pace for a career-best campaign with five tallies and 24 points in his first 27 games as a Hurricane. Gostisbehere's unlikely to approach his career-high 17 goals from 2015-16 but could challenge his 2017-18 best of 65 points, both of which came with the Flyers.

Matinpalo was assigned to AHL Belleville on Sunday.

Matinpalo was scratched for two straight games during his recent call-up, though he missed Thursday's 2-1 win over Detroit because of the flu. The 26-year-old defender has two goals and six points in 17 AHL appearances this season.

Gilbert notched an assist and seven hits in Saturday's 5-2 loss to Utah.

Gilbert was in the lineup for the second game in a row, covering for the absence of Rasmus Dahlin (back). The 28-year-old Gilbert remains limited to third-pairing usage when he plays. His helper Saturday was his first point in nearly a year -- his last contribution was a goal and an assist on New Year's Eve of 2023. He's added 22 hits, 25 PIM and eight blocked shots over eight outings this season, and he'll likely return to being a healthy scratch once Dahlin returns.

Power notched an assist, four shots on goal and two blocked shots in Saturday's 5-2 loss to Utah.

Power ended a six-game slump when he helped out on a Jiri Kulich goal late in the third period. There's still a bit of a learning curve for Power at the NHL level, though he's facing it while averaging 22:20 per game this season. He's collected 16 points, 48 shots on net, 43 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating over 27 appearances. Power will continue to fill a larger role while Rasmus Dahlin (back) is out of the lineup.

Maatta notched an assist, two shots on goal, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Sabres.

Maatta led the team with 23:18 of ice time in the contest. He has three helpers over his last four games, and while that scoring pace is unlikely to last, his value to Utah's battered defense has been immense. For the season, the Finnish blueliner has three helpers, 12 shots on net, 44 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating over 23 appearances between Utah and Detroit.

Andrae notched a power-play assist and two PIM in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Bruins.

Andrae snapped a four-game point drought when he helped out on the first of Matvei Michkov's two goals in the first period. The 22-year-old Andrae continues to hold onto a top-four role through steady defensive play, and any offense he adds is a bonus. He's at five points, 23 shots on net, 20 hits, 20 blocked shots, 12 PIM and a plus-6 rating through 17 appearances this season.
