Juulsen signed a two-year, $2.2 million contract with the Avalanche on Wednesday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
Juulsen had a goal, 10 points, 15 PIM, 104 hits and 45 blocks in 52 regular-season appearances with the Flyers in 2025-26. The 29-year-old blueliner will probably begin the season as Colorado's seventh or eighth defenseman on the depth chart. While he could be a healthy scratch when everyone is available, Juulsen could slot into a third-pairing spot if the Avalanche blue line runs into injury issues.
Flyers' Noah Juulsen: Two-point effort in Game 3 win
Rotowire
Juulsen pocketed two assists Wednesday during the Flyers' 5-2 win over the Penguins in Game 3 of their first-round series.
Both helpers came in the second period on tallies by Rasmus Ristolainen and Nick Seeler, as the Flyers took the lead for good. Juulsen didn't produce a multi-point performance during the entire regular season, piecing together a career-high 10 points (one goal, nine assists) in 52 contests, and he's unlikely to suddenly become an offensive threat in the playoffs.

Flyers' Noah Juulsen: Pockets helper in win
Rotowire
Juulsen notched an assist, five hits and two blocked shots in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Sharks.
Juulsen remains in a part-time role, but he snapped a 10-game point drought with this helper. He had been scratched six times in that span, though the Flyers have been forced into dressing seven defensemen lately due to injuries up front. Juulsen has a career-best 10 points through 49 outings this season and has added 26 shots on net, 101 hits, 43 blocked shots, 15 PIM and a plus-3 rating from a third-pairing role.

Flyers' Noah Juulsen: Gaining playing time
Rotowire
Juulsen was in the lineup for a fourth straight game in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Capitals, logging two hits and two blocked shots.
Juulsen has mostly been a part-time player this season, but he currently has an advantage over Emil Andrae for a third-pairing job. With nine points in 47 outings, this has been Juulsen's best season on offense in the NHL. He's added 25 shots on net, 15 PIM, a plus-2 rating, 96 hits and 40 blocked shots.

Flyers' Noah Juulsen: Pockets assist in loss
Rotowire
Juulsen provided an assist, four hits and three blocked shots in Saturday's 7-2 loss to the Lightning.
Juulsen logged a helper on Garnet Hathaway's goal in the first period. Juulsen has made four appearances in the Flyers' last 13 games, though he should have a short-term path to playing time while Jamie Drysdale (upper body) is on injured reserve. Juulsen is at six points, 19 shots on net, 62 hits, 22 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating through 30 outings this season.

Flyers' Noah Juulsen: Finds twine Thursday
Rotowire
Juulsen scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Golden Knights.
Juulsen has picked up two points over his last three games. That's helping him stay in the lineup over Egor Zamula while Cam York (upper body) is sidelined. Juulsen still has low upside in fantasy in a third-pairing role. He's at four points, 16 shots on net, 50 hits, 19 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through 25 appearances.

Flyers' Noah Juulsen: Nabs assist Friday
Rotowire
Juulsen posted an assist, two hits and a plus-3 rating in Friday's 6-5 shootout win over the Blues.
Juulsen's helper was just his second of the year. While he's added almost nothing on offense, the 28-year-old blueliner has held down a steady role on the third pairing, though his 16:07 of ice time Friday was his second-highest total of the season. He's at two helpers, 11 shots on net, 33 hits, 11 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through 17 appearances, which is production too low to justify rostering in most fantasy formats.

Flyers' Noah Juulsen: Picks up helper
Rotowire
Juulsen notched an assist in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Jets.
Through four games, Juulsen is averaging just 12:35 of ice time as the Flyers lean heavily on their top-four blueliners instead. The 28-year-old has a helper, four hits and five blocked shots so far. It seems like Juulsen will probably lose his place in the lineup once Rasmus Ristolainen (triceps) returns, though that is not imminent.

Flyers' Noah Juulsen: Takes ice for practice Thursday
Rotowire
Juulsen (groin) skated with Group B at the Flyers' first on-ice practice of training camp Thursday, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Juulsen underwent sports hernia surgery around the end of February. He was not reported to have any limitations on the ice Thursday, which suggests he is clear to compete for a third-pairing role. Juulsen signed with the Flyers at the start of free agency and is reunited with head coach Rick Tocchet, who was his coach with the Canucks over parts of the last three seasons. As a right-shot blueliner, Juulsen may get a long look in camp since fellow righty Rasmus Ristolainen (triceps) will be out for the start of 2025-26.

Flyers' Noah Juulsen: Snags one-year deal
Rotowire
Juulsen (groin) inked a one-year, $900,000 contract with Philadelphia on Tuesday, Rick Dhaliwal of CHEK reports.
Juulsen will have to prove he can stay healthy after being limited to just 35 games for the Canucks last season. It was a rough year for the 28-year-old blueliner, as he failed to register a point in those appearances despite logging 16:17 of ice time per game. With the Flyers, Juulsen figures to compete with Egor Zamula for a third-pairing role.

Canucks' Noah Juulsen: Headed for surgery
Rotowire
Juulsen (lower body) will undergo season-ending sports hernia surgery, per Rick Dhaliwal of CHEK on Thursday.
Juulsen should be ready for the 2025-26 campaign given an expected 12-week recovery timeline for sports hernia surgery. Unfortunately for the 27-year-old defenseman, his season will end having failed to register a point over 35 games, though he did dish out 101 hits along the way.

Canucks' Noah Juulsen: On injured reserve
Rotowire
Juulsen (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, per the NHL media site.
Juulsen isn't on the Canucks' five-game road trip, so the move frees up a roster spot if they need it later on. He's unlikely to be back in action any earlier than March 5 versus the Ducks. Elias Pettersson and Carson Soucy played as the third pairing Saturday versus the Golden Knights, but Quinn Hughes (oblique) may be back before Juulsen to create competition on the blue line.

Canucks' Noah Juulsen: Not going on road trip
Rotowire
Juulsen (undisclosed) won't travel for the start of the Canucks' road trip, which begins Saturday in Vegas, Jeff Paterson of CanucksArmy.com reports.
Juulsen's absence will allow Elias Pettersson to push Carson Soucy for playing time during the trip. It's unclear how long Juulsen will be out, but he is not a player that has much of an impact in fantasy.

Juulsen missed six straight games due to the injury. He has no points, 21 PIM, 89 hits and 57 blocks in 32 outings in 2024-25. Juulsen will likely serve on the third pairing against the Predators.

Canucks' Noah Juulsen: Lands on injured reserve
Rotowire
Juulsen (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, retroactive to Jan. 14.
Juulsen's move to IR opened a roster spot for a call-up to replenish the Canucks' defensive depth, with Elias Pettersson coming up from AHL Abbotsford. Juulsen has already missed the required minimum amount of time, so he can be activated whenever he's healthy enough to play.

Coach Rick Tocchet said Saturday that Juulsen saw doctors Friday and is considered day-to-day at this time. Juulsen has yet to pick up a point in 32 outings this season but does have 89 hits and 57 blocked shots. Look for Vincent Desharnais to remain in the lineup during Juulsen's absence.
