Hodgson was placed on waivers by Philadelphia on Friday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
Hodgson got into the Flyers' 5-2 win against New Jersey on Thursday, but he logged just 4:46 of ice time. During his limited time, he didn't record any shots, points, hits, or blocks. Given his lackluster showing Thursday, it's not surprising that the Flyers put him on waivers, but it is especially noteworthy that they would choose to do so even when they still have several injured forwards. It will likely be a while before Hodgson gets another opportunity in the NHL.

Flyers' Hayden Hodgson: Secures two-year deal
Rotowire
Hodgson inked a two-year, two-way contract with Philadelphia on Monday.
Hodgson made his NHL debut this past season, appearing in six games for the Flyers in which he generated one goal on 10 shots, two assists and 12 hits while averaging 13:12 of ice time. While the 26-year-old center could see more opportunities this year, he will likely continue to play the bulk of his games in the minors. As such, Hodgson is unlikely to offer more than low-end fantasy value.

Rotowire
Hodgson was reassigned to AHL Lehigh Valley on Sunday.

Flyers' Hayden Hodgson: Two points in NHL debut
Rotowire
Hodgson had a goal, an assist, four hits and a plus-3 rating in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Blues.
Finally getting a chance to make his NHL debut at age 26, Hodgson made the most of the opportunity. He needed just 6:37 to pick up his first point with an assist on the first of Travis Konecny's two goals, then Hodgson potted one of his own to put the Flyers up 4-2 in the third. The emergency recall from AHL Lehigh Valley may have earned himself a longer look with the big club with this impressive debut, but there's no need to rush out there and add Hodgson to your fantasy team at this point.
Hodgson was recalled from AHL Lehigh Valley on Wednesday.
The Flyers are short on forwards currently, so Hodgson will be up with the big club as an emergency depth option. The 26-year-old has played with Lehigh Valley throughout the 2021-22 campaign.

Flyers' Hayden Hodgson: Lands NHL deal
Rotowire
Hodgson signed a one-year, $750,000 contract with the Flyers and was subsequently assigned to AHL Lehigh Valley on Tuesday.
The Flyers likely signed Hodgson to an NHL deal for the reminder of the campaign in case they need to use him down the stretch after trading Claude Giroux away at the deadline. Hodgson's picked up 18 goals and 29 points through 44 appearances with Lehigh Valley this year.
