Flyers' Jamie Drysdale Nearing Return From Upper-Body Injury

Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Jamie Drysdale (upper-body injury), placed on IR Jan. 6 after a hit from Ross Johnston, is nearing his return. He has been participating in non-contact practices, and coach Rick Tocchet stated he's a 'possibility' for Wednesday's game against the Buffalo Sabres. Through 41 games this season, the 23-year-old has recorded 18 points (3G, 15A) and shown significant improvements in his five-on-five play, making his return a boost for the Flyers.
