Philadelphia Flyers

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.

Owen Tippett recorded a hat-trick for the Flyers Friday night, scoring three goals in a 5-2 win over the Sabres.

Fantasy Impact: Tippett has posted points in five of his last 10 games for the Flyers, scoring six goals and picking up one assist in that span. The 24-year-old winger has offered a solid depth option despite struggling to produce consistently for fantasy owners, notching 37 points (21 goals, 16 assists) in 63 games so far this season.

Ivan Provorov picked up one assist Friday night in the Flyers' 5-2 win over the Sabres.

Fantasy Impact: Provorov has not offered much production in the offensive zone of late for the Flyers, tallying points in just two of his last 12 games (one goal, one assist) for the club. The 26-year-old blueliner has underwhelmed fantasy owners for much of the season, recording just 23 points (four goals, 19 assists) in 68 games so far this season.

Kevin Hayes notched two assists Friday night in the Flyers' 5-2 win over the Sabres.

Fantasy Impact: Hayes has struggled in the offensive zone of late for the Flyers, recording points in just three of his last 14 games (four assists) for the club. The 30-year-old has been one of the more steady options under head coach John Tortorella for fantasy owners, posting 51 points (17 goals, 34 assists) in 67 games so far this season.

Brendan Lemieux scored a goal during a 5-2 loss to Tampa Bay. He had two shots on goal and finished with a minus-one rating in 12:56 minutes of ice time.

Fantasy Impact: The goal was his first of the season, and he also has three assists in 29 games. It was his second game as a member of the Flyers since being traded from the Los Angeles Kings on March 3rd.

Joel Farabee had an assist during a 5-2 loss to Tampa Bay. He finished the game with a plus-one rating, three shots, and two blocks in 12:48 minutes of ice time.

Fantasy Impact: This season in 64 games he has nine goals and 18 assists (27 points) with a minus-two rating. The assist versus Tampa Bay was his first point since he had an assist on Feb. 11th versus Nashville.

Morgan Frost scored a goal in the first period during a 5-2 loss to Tampa Bay. He fired five shots total on goal while playing 20:31 minutes of ice time in the loss.

Fantasy Impact: He now has 12 goals and 18 assists (30 points) in 63 games. It was his first goal since Feb. 18th at Vancouver.

James van Riemsdyk had an assist on what proved to be a game-winning goal by Wade Allison during a 4-3 win versus Calgary. He finished the game with one shot and a plus-one rating in 16:18 minutes of ice time.

Fantasy Impact: This season he has nine goals and 14 assists with a plus-two rating in 38 games played. In his last four games, van Riemsdyk has a goal and one assist with just five shot attempts in that span.

Scott Laughton had two assists during a 4-3 win versus Calgary. He also finished the game with a plus-three rating in 21:25 minutes of ice time.

Fantasy Impact: In his last four games, Laughton has a goal and three assists with seven shot attempts in that span. This season in 54 games played he has 13 goals and 21 assists with a minus-seven rating.

Travis Konecny had to leave the game at 6:22 of the second period due to an upper-body injury. He had a goal and an assist in the game while playing in 12:40 minutes of ice time before the injury occurred.

Fantasy Impact: In his last three games, Konecny had three goals and two assists with 12 shots in that span. Overall he has 27 goals and 27 assists in 52 games played.

Samuel Ersson stopped 32-of-35 shots during a 4-3 win versus Calgary.

Fantasy Impact: He becomes the 11th goalie in NHL history to win his six first decisions. Ersson has made nine appearances overall this season, two have come in relief efforts and he has a 2.56 GAA and a .913 SV%.

Noah Cates had a goal and an assist during a 4-0 road shutout win versus Winnipeg. He finished the game with a plus-three rating in 18:51 minutes of ice time.

Fantasy Impact: It was the sixth multi-point game for Cates this season. In 51 games played, he has eight goals and 14 assists with a plus-five rating. In his last five games, Cates has three goals and two assists.

Rasmus Ristolainen delivered two assists during a 4-0 win versus Winnipeg. He did not record a shot attempt but did have one block and a plus-two rating in 19:55 minutes of ice time.

Fantasy Impact: He now has points in his last three games with one goal and three assists in that span. This season in 44 games, Ristolainen has just two goals and seven assists with 42 shots on goal.

Nicolas Deslauriers had an assist during a 4-0 win versus Buffalo. He had three hits and finished the game with a plus-one rating in 11:55 minutes of ice time.

Fantasy Impact: This season in 41 games, Deslauriers has two goals and five assists with just 29 shots on goal. He does have a point in each of his last two games.

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.

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.

Yandle had a helper on a Flyers first period goal as Philadelphia fell to the Sabres.

Fantasy Impact: Philadelphia's veteran defenseman snapped a lengthy pointless streak that dated back to March 3rd.
