Jamie Drysdale posts three assists in Flyers win
Fantasy hockey: Drysdale set up three goals Sunday but did not take a shot in 21:26. His underlying metrics suggest this performance is not the new baseline.
By Fantasy Roundup Staff · November 1, 2026 · Updated November 2, 2026
Jamie Drysdale recorded three assists in 21:26 as the Flyers beat Utah 6-3 on Sunday, November 1. He added one block and a plus-5 rating but did not register a shot on goal.
The three-point night is well above his recent averages of 0.36 points per game. His process grade of 43 out of 100 among defensemen (measuring shots, scoring chances and ice time) suggests his scoring rate may not hold at this level.
Fantasy impact
Player by player
Jamie Drysdale
Drysdale matched his recent ice time (21:26 per game) and posted a strong plus-5, but the three assists came without his usual 1.1 shots per game. He averages 0.09 goals and 0.26 assists per game, making this output nearly eight times his assist rate. On the power play, he logs 2:08 per game, third among all Flyers skaters, and has been averaging 0.13 power-play points per game.
The underlying numbers show a 43 process grade, which ranks in the bottom half among defensemen and reflects limited shot generation and scoring chances. Philadelphia has three games left this week (Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday) and four next week. Treat this performance as a one-game outlier rather than a sign of elevated production ahead.
What to do
• Keep Drysdale rostered in deeper formats for his minutes on the first power-play unit.
• Do not expect this assist rate to continue given his 43 process grade and 1.1 shots per game.
• Monitor his shot volume in the three games this week to see if his offensive involvement increases.
