Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Jamie Drysdale (upper body) has been placed on Injured Reserve. He was already ruled out for Monday's game against San Jose, with Flyers head coach John Tortorella saying that Drysdale is "dinged up." Now it's clear that Philadelphia will be without Drysdale for at least three games. He's eligible to return to the lineup on Nov. 18 against Colorado. Drysdale has logged three points (one goal, two assists), 12 shots, and 28 blocks through 15 games this season. Veteran Erik Johnson comes into the lineup as his replacement.

Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Jamie Drysdale (sports hernia) is fully healthy for the start of 2024-25. The 22-year-old had sports hernia surgery in the offseason. This is excellent news for Drysdale, whose previous two campaigns were largely ruined by health issues. He was limited to 34 appearances last season and played only 24 games for the Flyers after arriving from Anaheim in a trade in January. Drysdale notched two goals and three assists with his new team. The talented offensive defenseman will be expected to prove a lot more in 2024-25.

Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Jamie Drysdale (lower body) has undergone surgery for a "significant injury" but is expected to be available for the start of training camp. Drysdale, who was acquired from Anaheim in January, featured 24 times for the Flyers this season, recording five points (two goals, three assists) with 34 shots on goal, 27 blocks, and 18 hits. He missed 16 games because of an upper-body injury sustained in late February. The 22-year-old is a highly-rated blue-liner, but injuries have kept Drysdale back in recent seasons. It's good to know that he will be fully ready for the 2024-25 campaign, and, hopefully, the worst is behind him injury-wise.

Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Jamie Drysdale (upper body) will return to the lineup Monday when the team takes on the New York Islanders. The 21-year-old has missed the past 16 games due to an upper-body injury. "I just came in, they said today was the day, but you never know, and then I came and just saw the number on the board," Drysdale said. "It's nice to be back. It [stinks] being out, especially when your team is kind of going into war night in and night out. That's never fun, so it's just real good to be back." Drysdale has been beleaguered by injuries in his young career, skating in just eight games last season before undergoing season-ending shoulder surgery. He has three goals and nine points in 27 games between the Ducks and Flyers this season.
