Flyers' Nick Seeler: Posts shorthanded assist Thursday
Rotowire
Seeler notched a shorthanded assist, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Coyotes.
Seeler has been a pleasant surprise for the Flyers with six helpers over his last 12 contests. That stretch accounts for all but one of his points this season -- he started the year slow. The 30-year-old defenseman isn't counted on for offense, instead playing as a steady top-four option in his own zone most of the time. He's collected 69 blocked shots, 29 hits, 30 PIM, 26 shots on net and a plus-13 rating through 26 appearances.

Flyers' Nick Seeler: Picks up helper in win
Rotowire
Seeler logged an assist, four blocked shots, three hits and a plus-3 rating in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Kings.
The helper snapped Seeler's seven-game point drought. The 30-year-old defenseman has two assists through 15 contests while filling a bottom-four role. He's added much more of a physical presence with 35 blocked shots, 15 hits, 28 PIM and a plus-9 rating, giving the Flyers some stability on defense.

Flyers' Nick Seeler: Earns first point
Rotowire
Seeler recorded his first point of the season, an assist versus the Wild on Thursday.
Seeler put up a career-high 14 points last season in 77 contests. The Minnesota native is averaging just 14:55 of ice time to open the 2023-24 campaign, which will no doubt hurt his chances of exceeding the 15-point threshold this year. Once Rasmus Ristolainen (undisclosed) and Marc Staal (upper body) are cleared to return, Seeler will likely find himself watching from the press box.

Seeler (illness) will not suit up Sunday against Boston, Adam Kimelman of NHL.com reports.

Flyers' Nick Seeler: Scores Tuesday
Rotowire
Seeler logged a goal, two shots, and two hits in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Vegas.
Seeler tallied one of the more unexpected goals of the year, dangling around a Knights' defenseman before going top shelf on Jonathan Quick. It was quite a display of skill from the 29-year-old blueliner, who now has four goals and 12 points in 64 games this season. Seeler isn't typically known for his offensive prowess, but he's earned a steady role in the Philadelphia lineup thanks to his physical play, adding 104 hits and 120 blocked shots.

Flyers' Nick Seeler: Grabs assist Sunday
Rotowire
Seeler recorded an assist in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Red Wings.
Seeler finally broke through his 10-game pointless streak but remains stuck in a 27-game goal drought dating back to Dec. 23 versus Carolina. The 29-year-old defenseman has never reached the 20-point threshold in his career and is unlikely to do so this season.

Flyers' Nick Seeler: Sneaks in helper
Rotowire
Seeler managed an assist in Monday's 2-1 loss to the Islanders.
Seeler generally isn't relied upon for offense, as he's a third-pairing defenseman who doesn't factor into power-play situations. Still, he's still managed to sneak in three goals and seven assists at even strength, which is a nice complement to his 79 hits and 86 blocked shots through 49 games this season.

Flyers' Nick Seeler: Pockets helper Thursday
Rotowire
Seeler notched an assist, four shots on goal and three hits in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Sharks.
Seeler has a goal and an assist in the Flyers' last two games. That's good work for a defenseman who had been scratched for a couple of contests due to a 14-game point drought that dated back to before American Thanksgiving. The 29-year-old rarely sees more than third-pairing minutes. With seven points, 38 shots on net, 49 hits, 53 blocked shots, 28 PIM and a plus-3 rating, he's usually not productive enough to earn consideration in fantasy.

Flyers' Nick Seeler: Nets second goal of 2022-23
Rotowire
Seeler contributed a goal in a 5-4 loss to Columbus on Tuesday.
It was Seeler's second goal and fourth point in 16 games this season. The 29-year-old forward has never been a significant offensive contributor at the NHL level with a career high of seven points in a season, so points from him are likely to be few and far between.

Flyers' Nick Seeler: Finds scoresheet
Rotowire
Seeler notched an assist and a fight during Tuesday's win over the Blues.
It was an eventful night for Seeler, who picked up an assist, a fight, one hit, one shot, four blocks, and finished with a plus-2 rating. Seeler has three points through 12 contests, which already matches last year's total of three points in 43 games.

Flyers' Nick Seeler: Scores first goal
Rotowire
Seeler connected on a rare marker, but the Flyers endured a 4-3 loss to the Panthers on Wednesday.
Seeler gave the Flyers a spark. It was brief, but the 29-year-old defenseman displayed his athleticism with his first goal of the season. Seeler received a centering pass from Kevin Hayes, flicked the puck from his forehand to his backhand, and lifted a shot past goalie Sergei Bobrovsky. Before Seeler's effort at 16:31 of the first period, the Panthers were outshot, 10-3, and failed to generate a shot on goal in nearly 12 minutes. In 152 career games, Seeler has four goals.

Flyers' Nick Seeler: Healthy at camp
Rotowire
Seeler (lower body) is set to participate in an intrasquad scrimmage Friday, Bill Meltzer of NHL.com reports.
Seeler missed the last month of the regular season in 2021-22, but the 29-year-old defenseman is healthy again at training camp. He's in the mix for a bottom-pairing role this year, though he's on a two-way contract and likely to spend some time at AHL Lehigh Valley.

Flyers' Nick Seeler: Inks two-year deal
Rotowire
Seeler (lower body) penned a two-year, two-way contract with Philadelphia on Thursday.
Seeler missed the final 14 games of the season for the Flyers due to his lower-body injury. Even before getting hurt, the blueliner was mired in a 13-game pointless streak and managed just three points in 43 appearances for the club. With his new deal being two-way in nature, Seeler will likely have to spend some time in the minors next year.

Seeler missed the final 14 games of the season with a lower-body issue and it's unclear how severe the injury is at this point. The 28-year-old blueliner scored three points while averaging 13:05 of ice time through 43 games during the 2021-22 campaign.

Flyers' Nick Seeler: Could be done for the year
Rotowire
Seeler (lower body) is considered week-to-week and may not return this season, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Seeler's absence will test Philadelphia's depth at defense, but it shouldn't impact any fantasy lineups, as he isn't known for his offensive contributions. If the 28-year-old defender is unable to return this season, he'll finish the year having picked up three points, 75 hits and 67 blocks while averaging 13:05 of ice time through 43 contests.

Rotowire

Flyers' Nick Seeler: Can't finish Saturday's game
Rotowire
Seeler (lower body) did not finish Saturday's game versus the Maple Leafs, Sam Carchidi of Philly Hockey Now reports.
Seeler was hurt when he whiffed on a hit and hobbled back to the locker room for the remainder of the third period. The defenseman has played in six of the last seven games, but he has just three points in 43 appearances. If Seeler misses time, Keith Yandle should return to the lineup after his 989-game ironman streak was ended with a healthy scratch Saturday.

Flyers' Nick Seeler: Sent to press box
Rotowire
Seeler was a healthy scratch for Saturday's 4-3 win against the Blackhawks.
Seeler has suited up for 36 contests with the Flyers, registering one goal and two assists. He chips in some production in peripheral categories, posting 24 PIM, 65 hits, and 51 blocks, but it's not enough to move the needle in most leagues.

Flyers' Nick Seeler: First points of season Wednesday
Rotowire
Seeler picked up two assists in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Red Wings.
The points were the first of the season for Seeler, who'd gone 27 games without finding his way onto the scoresheet prior to Wednesday. The 28-year-old was only even in the lineup for one of the previous eight games, so despite this performance, he remains far off the fantasy radar.
