Jamie Drysdale Expected To Be Ready For Training Camp After Surgery
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.
Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Jamie Drysdale (undisclosed) is considered week-to-week. He appeared to have hurt his left shoulder in Sunday's contest against Pittsburgh. An injury to the same shoulder kept Drysdale sidelined for almost all of the 2022-23 campaign. According to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman, there's hope Drysdale can return to action this season, so it looks like the injury isn't as bad as it was last campaign. Following a trade from Anaheim, Drysdale has posted four points (two goals, two assists) in 17 games with the Flyers. Egor Zamula is poised to replace him in the lineup on Tuesday versus Tampa Bay.
Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Jamie Drysdale suffered an undisclosed injury in Sunday's 7-6 defeat to Pittsburgh. He didn't play in the third period after heading straight to the locker room following a hit from Pittsburgh forward Jansen Harkins. Drysdale finished with 10:39 of ice time, posting one hit and a minus-one rating. The young defenseman was playing in his 17th game for the Flyers after being acquired in a trade with Anaheim last month. He has registered four points (two goals, two assists), 21 shots, 16 blocks, and 12 hits with the team. Philadelphia returns to action on Tuesday versus Tampa Bay, and we should know more about Drysdale's injury ahead of the contest.
Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Jamie Drysdale will miss Saturday's clash with the Jets due to an illness. The 21-year-old comes out of the lineup after impressing in his first couple of appearances for the team. Drysdale has had two assists in two games with the Flyers since being acquired from Anaheim. Veteran Marc Staal will fill in for him on Saturday. The young blue-liner will have his first opportunity to return to action Monday night against St. Louis.
Jamie Drysdale Penciled In For Flyers Debut Wednesday
Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Jamie Drysdale will make his team debut on Wednesday against Montreal. The newly acquired blue-liner is slated to link up with Travis Sanheim on the first defensive pairing, and he'll also have an opportunity to impress on the second power-play unit. The 21-year-old has arrived in the City of Brotherly Live following 123 outings with the Anaheim Ducks. 13 of Drysdale's 45 career points have come with the man advantage, and he could be a big threat against a team that has a lowly 72.7 percent penalty-killing efficiency.
The Philadelphia Flyers have acquired defenseman Jamie Drysdale in a trade with the Anaheim Ducks. The Flyers gave up prospect Cutter Gauthier and also received a 2025 second-round draft pick in the deal. Gauthier has just starred in the World Juniors, leading the U.S. to gold and being voted the tournament's best forward. Drysdale was the sixth pick in the 2020 draft by Anaheim. He showed some early promise in his NHL career, but injuries have hampered his development in recent seasons. The 21-year-old has seen action just 10 times this season, recording five points (one goal, four assists). Drysdale appears highly rated by Philadelphia and should have a better time at his new club. He'll be a top-four regular, and Flyers head coach John Tortorella has already announced that Drysdale will also head straight onto one of the power-play units.
Anaheim Ducks defenseman Jamie Drysdale (lower body) has been activated from Injured Reserve and is expected to rejoin the lineup Thursday versus Calgary. The 21-year-old has been sidelined for 29 games. He posted two assists in two games at the start of the season before hitting the shelf for two months. Urho Vaakanainen will likely step out of the lineup on Thursday to accommodate Drysdale, who averaged 22:30 of action in the two games he played early in the campaign.
Anaheim Ducks defenseman Jamie Drysdale is set to miss Thursday's contest against Dallas, with the team regarding him as day-to-day with a lower-body injury. After agreeing to a three-year extension with the team right before the beginning of the season, Drysdale is off to a nice start with assists in back-to-back games, but he will have to watch things from the sidelines on Thursday. Tristan Luneau took Drysdale's spot next to Cam Fowler at the morning skate and is poised to make his NHL debut versus the Stars.
Anaheim Ducks defenseman Jamie Drysdale (shoulder) suffered a torn labrum in his left shoulder in the 2022-23 season, missing 74 games. Despite this setback, he inked a lucrative three-year contract with Anaheim, valued at $6.9 million and averaging $2.3 million annually. Restricted to just eight games last season, Drysdale struggled to make an impact, failing to register a single point while carrying a minus-three rating. Across three seasons, the 21-year-old has collected seven goals and 33 assists in 113 contests with the Ducks.
Anaheim Ducks defenseman Jamie Drysdale (shoulder) is set to miss 4-6 months of action. He was injured in Friday's loss to Vegas and has been diagnosed with a torn labrum. This is awful news, as many expected to see Drysdale have a breakthrough year and it's now clear that this will almost be like a lost season for him instead. It didn't start great either for him, with the 20-year-old rearguard going scoreless and registering a minus-three rating in eight games before getting sidelined. Drysdale's injury helped Colton White back into the lineup Sunday against Toronto, but he's a guy fantasy managers can safely ignore.
Anaheim Ducks defenseman Jamie Drysdale sustained an upper-body injury in Friday's loss to Vegas and wasn't able to practice because of it on Saturday. The young blue-liner skated for just 7:22 against the Golden Knights, registering one hit and one shot. Drysdale has had a rough ride early in the season, and the injury makes it even worse for him. With eight games gone, Drysdale has yet to register any points and is minus-three for the year. Having some time off might even be good for him. Drysdale should be regarded as questionable for Sunday's clash with Toronto.
Anaheim Ducks defenseman Jamie Drysdale will be back in the lineup for Anaheim on Wednesday. The rookie defenseman suffered an upper-body injury on Monday versus St. Louis. Through 21 Ducks contests, Drysdale has produced three goals and four helpers. He averages quite a bit of ice time for a rookie, playing over 19:00 minutes per game. With just five Ducks games remaining, the offensive-minded player may be a solid late-season pickup for fantasy managers if available.
Jamie Drysdale Provides Only Ducks Goal In Sunday's Loss
Anaheim Ducks defenseman Jamie Drysdale scored the team's only goal in Sunday's 4-1 home loss to Colorado with Troy Terry and Sam Carrick collecting the assists. It's Drysdale's second career goal in 11 games. The highly-rated blueliner has so far picked up five points with 13 shots, adding seven blocks and three hits. The 18-year-old has started to see some really good ice time in recent games, logging 21-plus minutes three times in his past four appearances. He skates on the second defensive pairing and has taken up a spot on the second power-play unit. The Ducks meet the league's fourth-worst defensive team next when they have a pair of road outings against San Jose, which should help their offense to get going again -- this was the fifth time in six games Anaheim scored two or fewer goals, the only exception was a 5-1 win over the Sharks.
Anaheim Ducks defenseman Jamie Drysdale will make a return to his team's lineup versus the Colorado Avalanche on Monday. The 18-year-old was knocked out of Friday's win versus St. Louis with an upper-body injury and missed Sunday's game due to the issue. Drysdale, considered one of the top prospects in the game right now, has collected two points, a plus-one rating and nine shots on net in his first five NHL games following a call-up on March 1st. While he may not be ready to make an immediate fantasy impact in redraft leagues, the Ontario native carries a ton of value in keeper leagues.
Anaheim Ducks defenseman Jamie Drysdale will play in his first NHL game on Thursday. The Duck's sixth overall pick in 2020 has played in the AHL for the San Diego Gulls, where he has recorded ten points in his first 14 contests. The 18-year-old had an impressive World Junior Championship for Canada. Drysdale could be a key pickup for fantasy managers out there if his strong play in 2021 continues.
