Brassard (hip) was placed in the league's COVID-19 protocols Monday and is not expected to travel with the Flyers for their four-game road trip, Sam Carchidi of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Brassard was already dealing with a hip injury prior to winding up in the COVID-19 protocols and is now poised to miss an additional four games. Including the upcoming road trip, Brassard will have played just once in the team's last 15 contests. When healthy, Brassard has registered 11 points in 18 appearances and can provide decent fantasy value given his role with the man advantage.
