Date News Advice
Jan. 21, 2026 Abols' injury is a fractured right ankle, Kevin Kurz of The Athletic reports Wednesday. - Abols could still return in time for the last month of the regular season, though that may depend on how the Flyers are performing at the time. In any case, the 30-year-old is likely to be out at least two months. He is on injured reserve and could be transferred to long-term injured reserve if the Flyers get into a cap crunch. None
Jan. 20, 2026 Abols (lower body) is expected to be sidelined for "months," according to head coach Rick Tocchet, but he could still return this season, Kevin Kurz of The Athletic reports Tuesday. - Abols was already ruled out for the Olympics and was removed from the Latvian squad. In his 42 appearances this year, the 30-year-old center has generated three goals and seven helpers while dishing out 49 hits. At this point, even if Abols does return this year, he shouldn't be expected to offer much in the way of fantasy value. None
Jan. 19, 2026 Abols (lower body) has been replaced on the Latvian Olympic team by Rihards Bukarts, the Latvian Ice Hockey Federation announced Monday, which suggests that Abols isn't expected to be healthy before the Winter Games. - Philadelphia put Abols on injured reserve Sunday and recalled Lane Pederson from AHL Lehigh Valley in a corresponding move. Abols has three goals, 10 points, 22 PIM and 49 hits in 42 appearances in 2025-26. While it seems the 30-year-old will miss the Olympics, he should resume serving in a bottom-six capacity for Philadelphia once he's healthy. None
Jan. 18, 2026 Abols (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Sunday. - In a corresponding move, Philadelphia recalled Lane Pederson from AHL Lehigh Valley. Abols sustained the injury in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Rangers. He will be out for at least the next three games, beginning with Monday's matchup against Vegas, but an exact timeline for his return is unclear. Abols has chipped in three goals, 10 points, 43 shots on net, 24 blocked shots and 49 hits through 42 outings this season. None
Jan. 17, 2026 Abols suffered a lower-body injury in the first period versus the Rangers on Saturday and will not return. - Abols was injured during his second shift of the game, managing to play only 1:19 of ice time. Abols has three goals and 10 points in 42 games this season. Consider him day-to-day at this time. None
Jan. 15, 2026 Abols scored a goal Thursday in a 6-3 loss to the Penguins. - Abols deflected a Cam York slap shot early in the second frame; it was his second goal of the season. It was his first goal in 12 games (five assists). The 30-year-old fourth-line center has three goals, seven assists and 43 shots in 41 games. There's limited fantasy value in his profile. None
Dec. 23, 2025 Abols pocketed two assists in Monday's 5-2 win over the Canucks. - The Flyers' new fourth line of Abols, Nikita Grebenkin and Carl Grundstrom made a surprising impact, combining for the team's first two goals of the night and five points between them. Abols has just five points on the season in 30 games, but four of them (one goal and three helpers) have come in the last six contests. None
Dec. 20, 2025 Abols scored a shorthanded goal Saturday in a 5-4 shootout loss to the Rangers. - It came on a 3-on-1 rush in the second period to give the Flyers a 4-2 lead. It was the Flyers' first shorthanded goal of the campaign. Abols has two goals and one assist in 29 games this season. He's a classic better-on-the-ice-than-in-the-fantasy-arena guy. None
Dec. 14, 2025 Abols logged an assist in Saturday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Hurricanes. - Abols ended a 10-game point drought with the helper. The 29-year-old is currently centering the Flyers' fourth line with Carl Grundstrom and Garnet Hathaway, which has arguably been the most productive iteration of that unit this season. Abols has just two points with 22 shots on net, 29 hits, 11 PIM and a minus-5 rating over 25 appearances, so it's unlikely he'll score enough to help fantasy managers. None
Nov. 21, 2025 Abols scored a goal on four shots and added two hits in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Blues. - The 29-year-old forward struggled to get into the lineup early in the year, but he's played in 12 of the Flyers' last 13 games. Abols is still firmly in a fourth-line role, and that group has been virtually invisible on offense for Philadelphia so far. Abols is at one goal, 16 shots on net, 14 hits, five blocked shots, five PIM and a minus-3 rating over 14 appearances. While his production won't jump off the page, the ongoing struggles of enforcer Nicolas Deslauriers and youngster Nikita Grebenkin should be enough to keep Abols in the lineup, especially since he can play center. None
May 13, 2025 Abols signed a one-year, $800,000 contract extension with the Flyers on Tuesday, per PuckPedia. - Abols had 29 points in 46 AHL games with Lehigh Valley, as well as five points in 22 NHL contests. The 29-year-old is a bit of a late bloomer, as he got his first look in the NHL in 2024-25, but he did enough to impress the team. Abols' deal is a one-way contract, and while that's not a guarantee he'll be an NHL regular, it sets him up well to be a bottom-six option in 2025-26. None
April 9, 2025 Abols was reassigned to AHL Lehigh Valley on Wednesday. - Abols has two goals and five points in 22 outings with Philadelphia in 2024-25. He's also collected 12 goals and 27 points across 44 appearances with Lehigh Valley. None
March 25, 2025 Abols logged an assist and two hits in Tuesday's 7-2 loss to the Maple Leafs. - Abols snapped a six-game point drought when he helped out on a Ryan Poehling tally in the first period. The 29-year-old Abols has emerged as a bottom-six regular for the Flyers following the trade deadline, but he hasn't been particularly productive on offense. For the season, he has four points, 21 shots on net, 22 hits, 10 blocked shots and a minus-9 rating over 19 NHL appearances. None
March 11, 2025 Abols scored a goal in a 5-2 loss to the Senators on Tuesday. - His goal from the left face-off circle near the mid-point of the second knotted the game 2-2. Abols is a 29-year-old, first-year player from Latvia who is living the dream as a seventh-round long shot (184th overall). He has two goals, one assist and 12 hits in 12 games this season. Abols is a nice story, but he doesn't have fantasy value right now. None
March 7, 2025 Abols was recalled from AHL Lehigh Valley on Friday. - Abols was sent to the minors in early February, but he'll rejoin the Flyers following Friday's trade deadline and will be available for Saturday's matchup against Seattle. Over nine appearances with the Flyers this year, he's recorded a goal, an assist, 10 hits and six blocked shots while averaging 10:19 of ice time. None
Feb. 8, 2025 Abols was reassigned to AHL Lehigh Valley on Saturday. - Abols heads back to the AHL after producing two points across his first nine appearances. It's unclear if he'll be back with the big club after the 4 Nations Face-Off, which may depend on the statuses of Ryan Poehling (upper body) and Owen Tippett (upper body). The Flyers' next game is Feb. 22 versus the Oilers. None
Feb. 5, 2025 Abols scored his first-career NHL goal and took two shots on net in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss against Utah. - Abols scored the opening goal Tuesday just two minutes into the contest. The 29-year-old center has a goal and 12 shots on net across his first seven career appearances. The fourth-line center should continue to skate roughly 10 minutes a night for Philadelphia. None
Jan. 20, 2025 Abols was recalled from AHL Lehigh Valley on Monday. - Abols hasn't yet made his NHL debut, but he'll join the Flyers after Ryan Poehling (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Monday. Abols will likely serve mainly as a depth option for the NHL club, but it's possible that he enters a game at some point if the team deals with other injuries or if another forward needs a breather.
