Return of Jamie Drysdale
In a positive turn of events for the Flyers, they announced that defenseman Jamie Drysdale has been activated from the injured reserve list.

His return to the lineup comes as a significant boost for the Flyers, as Drysdale plays a crucial role on their defensive line.
The 23-year-old has been having a commendable season, tallying three goals and 15 assists, resulting in a total of 18 points along with a plus-1 rating over 41 games this year.
