Andrew MacDonald

Andrew MacDonald has been held out by Coach Hakstol, with no reason being said by the coach.

Fantasy Impact

A-Mac is not much of a fantasy option anyways, but it was an interesting option by Coach Hakstol to hold the alternate captain out of the lineup the past couple games. It's a story worth noting outside of fantasy though.

Andrew MacDonald sustained a lower-body injury during an off-season workout and will be sidelined approximately six weeks. He is expected to miss all of training camp and the start of the season.

Fantasy Impact

MacDonald is a solid leader in the Flyers locker room but has not been much of a fantasy viable option during his career. An update on his injury will be updated in the coming weeks.

MacDonald's power play goal in the second period tied the game at 1-1 as the Flyers defeated Detroit 3-2 in overtime.

Fantasy Impact

With ten points in 33 games (+9), MacDonald is solid on the ice, but not a great fantasy choice.

MacDonald helped Sean Couturier for an empty-netter at the end of the Flyers' 6-3 win on Saturday.

Fantasy Impact

This was the defenseman's first point since Dec. 4 and only his second since his return from injury. He's +4 on the season and his time-on-ice is close to normal, but he's not a good fantasy choice right now.

Since his return on Nov. 27, MacDonald has only notched two assists and is even (+0) on the ice.

Fantasy Impact

The Flyers were hoping the veteran would stabilize the defensive corps but the team has had mixed results and goes up against a good team (Tampa Bay Lightning) tonight.
