Flyers Place Jamie Drysdale on IR After Blindside Hit, Recall Adam Ginning

Drysdale cannot return until Jan. 14 under NHL injured reserve rules.

Overview

  • Drysdale left Tuesday’s win over Anaheim after a blindside hit by Ross Johnston, who received a five-minute major for interference and a game misconduct.
  • The NHL Department of Player Safety issued no supplemental discipline or fine for the play.
  • Philadelphia made the IR move retroactive to Jan. 6 and called up defenseman Adam Ginning from AHL Lehigh Valley.
  • Noah Juulsen has stepped into Drysdale’s slot alongside Emil Andrae as the Flyers adjust their defensive pairs.
  • Forwards Bobby Brink and Travis Konecny are listed day-to-day with upper-body injuries, and Drysdale’s absence further strains a power play he often quarterbacked.
