metropolitan


Tony DeAngelo posted two assists in the Flyers' 5-2 win over the Sabres Friday night.

Fantasy Impact: DeAngelo has not offered much production for the Flyers of late, registering points in just three of his last 14 games (one goal, four assists) for the club. The 27-year-old blueliner has offered fantasy owners a frustrating option for much of the season, picking up 36 points (10 goals, 26 assists) to go along with an abysmal -25 plus/minus in 61 games so far this season.

Carter Hart was strong in net for the Flyers Friday night, stopping 36 of 38 shots faced in a 5-2 win over the Sabres.

Fantasy Impact: Hart has struggled to stay consistent between the pipes for the Flyers of late, allowing three goals or less in three of his last six starts (2-3-1, .895 save percentage) for the club. The 24-year-old netminder has been a frustrating option for fantasy owners for much of the season in net, posting a .907 save percentage and 2.94 GAA in 49 starts (18-21-10) so far this season.

Felix Sandstrom struggled in net for the Flyers Wednesday night, allowing five goals on 44 shots faced in a 5-2 loss to the Maple Leafs.

Fantasy Impact: Sandstrom has done little to instill confidence in head coach John Tortorella operating as the No. 2 netminder in Philadelphia, allowing four or more goals in two of three starts in the crease behind Carter Hart. The 25-year-old offers little value to fantasy owners outside of a potential injury to Hart and is best left on waivers at this point. Sandstrom carries an underwhelming .894 save percentage and 3.78 GAA in three starts (0-3-0) so far this season.

Philadelphia Flyers center Sean Couturier has stopped skating and is not expected back anytime soon. (Source: Charlie O'Connor on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Couturier's season was in jeopardy due to a back injury but it was determined he didn't require surgery, lending hope to playing at some point this season. However, he has stopped skating and the club is not expecting him back anytime soon. The Flyers are off to a surprising 4-2-0 start to the season without him, but they'd surely like to have back an elite two-way player that posted 18 goals and 41 points across 45 games a season ago.

Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Travis Sanheim has signed an eight-year contract extension with an average annual value of $6.25M. (Source: Chris Johnston on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: A budding two-way defender, the 26-year-old Sanehim has gained long-term security with Thursday's contract extension. Sanheim recorded seven goals and 31 points in 80 games last season, but his 142 blocks ranked 20th league-wide. He'll need to take a step forward offensively to gain the trust of fantasy owners.


Bobby Brink recorded two assists, one shot, and was a plus-1 in the Flyers 6-3 win over the Canadiens Thursday night.

Fantasy Impact: The 20-year-old continues to be a bright spot as the Flyers limp towards the end of the season. The right winger now has 4 assists in 6 games since signing his entry-level contract after winning the NCAA championship at the University of Denver. Look to scoop him up in deep dynasty leagues as the Flyers search for a boost to their 28th-ranked offense.
