He finished the campaign with a goal, four points, 56 hits and 45 blocks in 31 appearances in 2023-24. Although Ristolainen comes with a $5.1 million cap hit through 2026-27, he might start 2024-25 on the third pairing after averaging just 16:41 of ice time this season. None

Feb. 14, 2024 Ristolainen (upper body) will undergo a procedure in 2-3 weeks and will be re-evaluated at that point, Kevin Kurz of The Athletic reports. - Ristolainen is currently stuck in a 15-game goal drought during which he managed just one assist and 23 shots. As such, the majority of fantasy players are unlikely to be impacted by his absence. Still, with Ristolainen unavailable, Marc Staal and Egor Zamula should see upticks in ice time. None
Feb. 12, 2024 Ristolainen (upper body) is out Monday against Arizona and is not expected to play Thursday against Toronto. - Ristolainen missed Thursday's tilt against Winnipeg with an illness but returned to log 15:26 of ice time Saturday against the Kraken.

Dec. 31, 2023 Ristolainen scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Flames. - Ristolainen opened the scoring at 9:44 of the first period. The 29-year-old blueliner has earned all three of his points this season in December after missing the first six weeks of the campaign with a lower-body injury. He's far from a big scoring threat -- Ristolainen's game is physicality in a bottom-four role.

Dec. 5, 2023 Ristolainen snagged an assist during Monday's 2-1 overtime win against the Penguins. - A lower-body injury has limited Ristolainen to just five games this season.

Nov. 21, 2023 Ristolainen (lower body) ditched the non-contact jersey for Tuesday's practice session, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports. - With Ristolainen cleared for contact, he could be close to making his return, perhaps even in Wednesday's matchup with the Islanders. Considering the defenseman has yet to play this season, his minutes may be limited in his first couple of outings. Last year, the Finn recorded the lowest minutes of his NHL career, averaging just 19:01 of ice time and less than a minute per game with the man advantage. None

Oct. 9, 2023 Ristolainen (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Monday. - Ristolainen was back at practice over the weekend but he'll miss at least three games to start the regular season.

Oct. 7, 2023 Ristolainen (undisclosed) took part in Saturday's practice, per Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia. - Ristolainen sat out Thursday's preseason finale against the Islanders for precautionary reasons.

None
Oct. 5, 2023 Ristolainen is dealing with a minor undisclosed injury and will not play Thursday versus the Islanders, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports. - With this being the Flyers' last preseason game, there's little point in risking a more significant injury. Ristolainen figures to fill a bottom-four role in 2023-24, and he could also see some power-play time. None
April 4, 2023 Ristolainen (upper body) will be a game-time decision Tuesday versus St. Louis, Giana Han of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. - Ristolainen, who sat out Sunday's 4-2 loss to Pittsburgh, has registered 18 points, 134 blocked shots and 144 hits in 68 contests this campaign. If he is able to play, Philadelphia is expected to dress seven defensemen. None
April 2, 2023 Ristolainen (upper body) is not in Sunday's lineup against the Penguins, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports. - Ristolainen appears to be dealing with a minor injury and is currently considered day-to-day. The 28-year-old has 18 points in 68 games this season, including four over his last five appearances. Both Justin Braun and Kieffer Bellows will suit up Sunday. None
March 26, 2023 Ristolainen collected an assist during Saturday's 3-0 win over Detroit. - With the assist, Ristolainen has points in back-to-back contests. After an abysmal start to the season in which he was held pointless for the first 27 games, he has climbed up to three goals and 16 points through 65 games. None
March 6, 2023 Ristolainen garnered an assist against Detroit on Sunday. - Ristolainen is currently stuck in a 14-game goal drought but has registered seven helpers over that stretch, including a pair with the man advantage. During his goal slump, the Finnish blueliner has put just 16 shots on target and will be hard-pressed to put one into the netting if he doesn't start putting more rubber on net. None
Feb. 12, 2023 Ristolainen notched two assists in a 4-3 loss to Seattle on Sunday. - Ristolainen's first assist came while Philadelphia was on the power play, and his second helper was recorded while the Flyers were shorthanded.

Jan. 17, 2023 Ristolainen tallied a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Ducks. - Ristolainen gave Philadelphia a 2-1 lead with a shorthanded goal in the second period, his first tally of the season. The 28-year-old defenseman added an assist on Morgan Frost's goal later in the frame. While Tuesday's performance was impressive, multi-point games shouldn't be expected from Ristolainen going forward -- the two-point effort doubled his point total this year. Ristolainen now has four points, 86 hits, and 92 blocked shots through 38 games while playing on the Flyers' bottom defensive pair. None
Jan. 1, 2023 Ristolainen registered a shorthanded assist in Saturday's win over Los Angeles. - Ristolainen was held off the scoresheet for the first 27 games of the season, but has two assists in the past three contests.

The 28-year-old defenseman responded by recording a plus-2 rating during 16:16 of ice time. None
Oct. 26, 2022 Ristolainen (lower body) will make his season debut Thursday against Florida, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports. - The Flyers plan to use seven defensemen in the contest. Ristolainen racked up 125 blocks and 230 hits in 66 games last season to go along with 16 points. None
Oct. 25, 2022 Ristolainen (lower body) is hoping to suit up against the Panthers on Thursday, Sam Carchidi of Philly Hockey Now reports. - Ristolainen has yet to get onto the ice this season due to his lingering lower-body issue. Once given the all-clear, the blueliner is likely to relegate Egor Zamula from a spot in the lineup, though Nick Seeler could also be in danger of missing out. Even with the time missed, Ristolainen should still be capable of offering top-end fantasy value given his offensive upside. None
Oct. 17, 2022 Ristolainen (lower body) was moved to injured reserve Monday, Olivia Reiner of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. - Ristolainen has already missed the first two games of the regular season. The Flyers also announced Monday that forward Zack MacEwen and defenseman Louis Belpedio had been recalled from AHL Lehigh Valley. None

The 27-year-old defenseman will likely see his role further reduced with the presence of Tony DeAngelo as the Flyers' new power-play quarterback in 2022-23, so Ristolainen is a fade in nearly all fantasy formats. None
April 23, 2022 Ristolainen (upper body) won't return this season, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports. - Although Ristolainen won't be available for the final four games of the campaign, at this point there's no reason to believe he won't be ready for next season's training camp.

April 15, 2022 Ristolainen (upper body) is considered out indefinitely, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports. - The Flyers are hopeful Ristolainen will be able to return before the end of the season, but it's safe to assume he'll miss a handful of contests at a minimum. The 27-year-old defender has picked up 16 points, 230 hits and 125 blocks through 66 games this campaign. None
April 13, 2022 Ristolainen will be sidelined versus the Rangers on Wednesday with an upper-body injury. - Ristolainen is bogged down in a 13-game pointless streak during which he has registered 36 hits, 25 blocks and 19 shots while averaging 21:14 of ice time.

Feb. 17, 2022 Ristolainen (upper body) will not participate in Thursday's game against Washington, per Bill Meltzer of NHL.com. - Ristolainen has yet to surpass the seven-day minimum absence that came with his placement on injured reserve. The 27-year-old is eligible to return beginning with Monday's game against Carolina. Over his last five appearances, he averaged 21:07 of ice time and registered one assist. None
Feb. 15, 2022 Ristolainen (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday. - The 27-year-old defenseman will not be available for Tuesday's tilt with Pittsburgh and his current timeline is still unknown. He could be ready to return as early as Feb. 21 against Carolina, but more information should be available before that. He has 11 points and a minus-12 rating this season. None
Feb. 11, 2022 Ristolainen (undisclosed) will not play Saturday against the Red Wings, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports. - The 27-year-old suffered the injury Wednesday against Detroit and will miss at least one game as a result.

Feb. 10, 2022 Ristolainen (undisclosed) was deemed day-to-day Thursday, Sam Carchidi of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. - Ristolainen was a little banged-up after Wednesday's loss and is questionable for Saturday's game against Detroit, Carchidi adds. The 27-year-old has averaged 21:05 of ice time, recorded two goals, dealt nine assists and delivered 146 hits over 42 games this season. Nick Seeler may see an expanded role if Ristolainen is withheld from participation Saturday. None
Jan. 17, 2022 Ristolainen (conditioning) will play Monday against the Islanders, Giana Han of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports. - Ristolainen cleared COVID-19 protocols last week but wasn't fit to play Saturday against the Rangers. The 27-year-old blueliner is good to go now, though, and will look to build upon his eight points and 106 hits in 33 games. None
Jan. 15, 2022 Ristolainen cleared the NHL's COVID-19 protocols Saturday, per Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia. - Ristolainen missed Thursday's contest against the Bruins whilst in the NHL's virus protocols. The 27-year-old has averaged 21:50 of ice time and has distributed three assists over his last 10 NHL appearances. The Finn will likely play in Saturday's game against the Rangers. None
Jan. 11, 2022 Ristolainen was designated for the NHL's COVID-19 protocols Tuesday. - Ristolainen averaged 21:50 of ice time and tallied three assists through his last 10 appearances. The 27-year-old is doubtful for Thursday's contest at Boston. Nick Seeler is likely to see an expanded role in his absence. None
Dec. 29, 2021 Ristolainen delivered an assist in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Kraken. - Ristolainen had the secondary helper on James van Riemsdyk's game-tying goal in the third period. Through 10 games in December, Ristolainen has distributed four assists. The Finn is up to eight points in 28 contests overall. He's added 90 hits, 49 blocked shots and 43 shots on net this year, though his scoring rate likely won't impress too many fantasy managers even with the recent uptick. None
Dec. 7, 2021 Ristolainen tallied an assist, three hits, and a plus-3 rating in Monday's loss to the Avalanche. - The helper gives Ristolainen five points in 21 contests this season.

Through 10 contests, Ristolainen has struggled a bit on offense -- Friday's helper was just his second of the season. The Finn has added his usual physicality with 34 hits, 18 blocked shots and eight PIM. He regularly pushed for a 40-point pace during his Sabres' tenure, so it makes sense to assume his offense will pick up a bit as the season progresses. None
