Flyers' Jamie Drysdale: Gets first goal of season
Rotowire
Drysdale scored a goal Thursday in a 4-1 win over Nashville.
It was Drysdale's first goal of the season, and it stood as the game-winner. Drysdale wired a shot from the bottom of the left circle that beat Juuse Saros. Drysdale fired four shots Thursday, which equaled what he put up in three games prior. Drysdale has not blossomed into the two-way star that many envisioned when he was drafted sixth overall in 2020, but he is running on the top power-play unit in Philadelphia, and he's feeding young stars Trevor Zegras and Matvei Michkov. Drysdale could be poised for a career season.

Drysdale is getting consistent top-four minutes this year and has added two shots on net, six blocked shots, two hits and an even plus-minus rating.

Flyers' Jamie Drysdale: Pots lone goal in defeat
Rotowire
Drysdale scored his fourth goal of the season on his only shot and blocked two shots Sunday in a 3-1 loss to New Jersey.
Drysdale has two goals over five outings in March but does not have an assist in that span. The right-shot defenseman got the Flyers on the board late in the game to cut the score to 2-1, but Dawson Mercer's empty-net goal with the man advantage spoiled Philadelphia's comeback attempt. Drysdale is up to four goals and 11 helpers across 53 appearances this season. The 22-year-old is a talented defenseman, but until Philadelphia is able to field a more competitive team, Drysdale's production will likely remain sporadic.

Drysdale is not at risk of losing his place in the lineup currently, but he doesn't need to be rostered in most fantasy formats.

Flyers' Jamie Drysdale: Scores, assists in win
Rotowire
Drysdale recorded a power-play goal and a power-play assist in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Ducks.
Drysdale snapped a four-game pointless streak with his third multi-point effort, although this was the first time he notched a goal and an assist in the same contest. However, Drysdale has cracked the scoresheet in just two of his last 11 games. While he can put up decent numbers from time to time, Drysdale's lack of consistency limits his fantasy upside considerably in most formats.
