Philadelphia Flyers right wing Cam Atkinson might have played his last game for the team. According to TSN's Darren Dreger, the veteran is drawing interest from the San Jose Sharks. However, Atkinson himself reportedly isn't keen on the move. Dreger added that a buyout is also an option with Atkinson, as is keeping him on the team. After missing the entire 2022-23 campaign due to back surgery, Atkinson returned to action this season but was a shadow of his former self. In 70 games, the 35-year-old was able to contribute only 13 goals and 15 assists. Atkinson has one more year left on his current contract, which carries a $5.875 million cap hit.
Cam Atkinson Set To Return To Flyers Lineup Saturday
Philadelphia Flyers right wing Cam Atkinson will be reinserted into the lineup on Saturday versus Calgary. He was scratched for Thursday's clash with Columbus, but Flyers head coach John Tortorella has confirmed that Atkinson will be back in the lineup at the weekend, along with Morgan Frost. After missing the entire 2022-23 campaign, Atkinson hasn't been very prolific during his comeback year. He's tallied eight goals and 18 points in 37 games. The 34-year-old has started to struggle after averaging nearly a point per game in October.
Philadelphia Flyers right wing Cam Atkinson couldn't make his long-awaited return at the start of the week due to a lower-body ailment. He was penciled in to play in Monday's preseason game versus New Jersey, which would've been Atkinson's first outing since April 2022, but the veteran winger was a late scratch for the contest. It's been reported Atkinson is dealing with soreness from a lower-body injury. The issue doesn't sound too bad, and hopefully, it doesn't derail Atkinson's comeback plans. The 34-year-old posted 50 points (23 goals, 27 assists) across 73 games in his last healthy season.
Philadelphia Flyers right wing Cam Atkinson will have neck surgery on Wednesday and won't play this season. The 33-year-old sniper has been out for the whole campaign so far and sadly we won't be seeing him at all in 2022-23. Philadelphia must have done something wrong to anger the hockey gods, as the team has had awful luck with injuries throughout the season and the attack has already been without Sean Couturier (back) since Day 1. Various lineup issues have resulted in Morgan Frost, Owen Tippett and Noah Cates getting big minutes in the top six.
Philadelphia Flyers right wing Cam Atkinson (upper body) missed another practice on Monday, but he is on track to play in the team's season opener on Thursday against New Jersey. Atkinson has been absent from practice since the final week of September and he didn't play in any of the team's preseason games. But Flyers head coach John Tortorella has said that he's optimistic about Atkinson's chances to feature against the Devils and the 33-year-old winger is expected to join the team in Wednesday's practice. Atkinson was one of only a few Flyers players who actually managed to do decent during a miserable 2021-22 campaign, notching 23 goals and 50 points in 73 outings.
Philadelphia Flyers right wing Cam Atkinson (upper body) will sit out another game Sunday against Buffalo. There were hopes of him rejoining the lineup after missing two games but the team will still be without its top scorer for the time being. Atkinson has recorded 23 goals and 50 points in 73 games this season. Owen Tippett covered for Atkinson on the top line Saturday against the Sabres and even scored a goal. He'll likely remain in the role for Sunday's rematch and that gives him some appeal in DFS competitions.
Philadelphia Flyers right wing Cam Atkinson lasted for only 5:08 on Tuesday against Washington, leaving a 9-2 loss with a lower-body injury. He's now considered doubtful for Wednesday's clash with the Rangers. Atkinson has had an awful time lately, going seven games without a point, but he's had a pretty decent year on a bad team with 23 goals and 50 points in 73 games. The veteran winger has managed more points just three times during his career. Highly-rated Bobby Brink made his NHL debut on Tuesday, and he could find himself in a prominent role sooner than he would have expected if Atkinson is unavailable.
Philadelphia Flyers right-winger Cam Atkinson is not known as a playmaker. On Saturday night, the forward was just that in defeat. Atkinson set up Joel Farabee, Kevin Hayes, and Ivan Provorov on their goals. The strange part is that the winger had several Grade-A scoring chances himself. He even had five shots on goal. Unfortunately for him, Jonathan Quick foiled the forward at every turn. Atkinson upped his point total to 23 in 32 games as he looks poised to break past the 50 point barrier this season.
Cam Atkinson Has A Monster Game Against New Jersey

His hat trick included a short-handed goal. The Flyers have had a rough ride lately, but they now sit on a three-game winning streak, and with the team playing better, Atkinson's numbers should get a boost as well.

Cam Atkinson Gets Lone Flyers Goal In Sunday's Loss
Philadelphia Flyers right wing Cam Atkinson was the lone scorer in Sunday's heavy 7-1 loss to Tampa, collecting his eighth goal of the season on the power play in the third period. He produced three total shots in the game, playing 18:47 and finishing with a minus-two rating. Philly has looked awful lately and it's left a mark on Atkinson's numbers, as he's managed only six points since starting the season with a five-game point streak that included seven total points. The 32-year-old and his teammates can now look for form during a busy four-game week.

He had four total shots in the contest and registered two hits with one block in 14:15. Atkinson has had a nice start to life in Philly and his fantasy stock is on the rise. The 32-year-old winger has yet to go pointless in three outings and boasts three goals and seven points for the year. Atkinson's linemates Derick Brassard and Joel Farabee have also crushed it early in the season with six and seven points, respectively.
Columbus Blue Jackets forward Cam Atkinson was dealt to the Philadelphia Flyers Saturday for veteran winger Jakub Voracek. Atkinson potted 15 goals and 19 assists in 56 regular-season contests for Columbus in 2021. He is second all-time in Blue Jackets history in goals (213), points (402), and games played (627), just behind retired forward Rick Nash. In addition, he is an elite penalty-killer. The 32-year-old should slot in on the Flyers second line. Cam Atkinson has the chance to be a decent pickup in fantasy hockey in this upcoming season, as the Flyers have been more of an offensive-minded team than Columbus in recent years.
Columbus Blue Jackets forward Cam Atkinson collected two points (one goal, one assist) as his team handed the Detroit Red Wings a 4-1 loss on Tuesday. The 31-year-old, who has now produced 13 points (seven goals, six assists) over his past 10 contests, was a weapon on the special teams in this one with a shorthanded goal and power-play helper. Checking in with 19 points (10 goals, nine assists), five power-play points and 18 shots through 24 games, Atkinson has revived himself into a must-own fantasy asset. He'll aim to stay hot when the Jackets travel to Dallas to take on the Stars on Thursday.
Columbus Blue Jackets right wing Cam Atkinson put together a four-point performance in Thursday's 6-5 win over Chicago, netting a short-handed goal for a second consecutive game and handing out three assists, one of which came on a power play. Atkinson now has 15 career short-handed goals, which sets a new franchise record after he was previously tied with Rick Nash for the top spot. The 31-year-old winger has three goals in his last four games, and he has started to gain momentum after an inconsistent first few weeks of the season. He sits on 10 points for the season in 15 games and a league-high three short-handed goals.
Cam Atkinson Scores Short-Handed Goal Tuesday Night
Columbus Blue Jackets right wing Cam Atkinson notched a short-handed goal in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout loss to Florida, adding a game-high five shots and one block. It's his first goal of the season, and it extended his point streak to three games. Columbus got off to a great start with Kevin Stenlund and Alexandre Texier scoring inside the first 10 minutes, but the team failed to build on it. Following a 41-goal outburst in 2018-19, Atkinson had a down year last season and he started off 2020-21 with a poor four-game pointless streak as well, but the 31-year-old has some nice momentum now and he gets to showcase it against Florida again on Thursday.
