Flyers' Zack MacEwen: Sidelined with head injury
Rotowire
MacEwen (head) doesn't have a timeline for his return, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
At this point MacEwen should probably be considered out indefinitely. The 25-year-old forward has some value in fantasy leagues that reward his substantial PIM (101) and hit (139) totals, but most fantasy managers shouldn't need to track his availability.

Rotowire
MacEwen (undisclosed) will not play Sunday against the Rangers, Olivia Reiner of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Flyers' Zack MacEwen: Questionable for Monday
Rotowire
Coach Mike Yeo said MacEwen (undisclosed) is questionable for Monday's game versus Dallas, Bill Meltzer of NHL.com reports.
It's unclear what injury MacEwen is dealing with and when he suffered it. The forward's meager production this season includes a goal and two assists in 39 games, and he's averaged just 9:46 of ice time.
MacEwen registered an assist during Thursday's loss to the Penguins.
It was MacEwen's second assist of the year, and third point in 32 games. Despite seeing some time on the power play, don't expect MacEwen's offense to rise by any notable measure. His fantasy value remains limited to his 29 PIM and 66 hits.

Flyers' Zack MacEwen: Deposits game-winner Friday
Rotowire
MacEwen scored a goal, dished out two hits and went plus-2 in Friday's 2-1 win over the Hurricanes.
MacEwen's first goal as a Flyer gave them the lead at 10:20 of the third period. The 25-year-old hasn't done much else on offense this season. He's provided a physical edge with 20 hits and 11 PIM. MacEwen will likely stay in a fourth-line role, so there's little reason for fantasy managers to keep an eye on him.

Flyers' Zack MacEwen: First scrap of season
Rotowire
MacEwen had a fight and additional two PIM in Thursday's win over Vancouver.
MacEwen missed the first matchup against his former team, but the two clubs met again not too long after. He played less than eight minutes in this tilt, but he found a way onto the scoresheet with seven PIM and three hits. His value is limited to these categories, and even then he should only be rostered in the deepest of leagues.

Flyers' Zack MacEwen: Added to active roster
Rotowire
MacEwen (not injury related) was added to Philadelphia's active roster Tuesday.
MacEwen was granted non-roster status by the NHL pending approval of his U.S. visa application after being claimed off waivers Wednesday, but he's evidently already sorted that out. The 25-year-old forward picked up two points in 34 games with Vancouver last season and will likely serve as a rotational, bottom-six option for the Flyers in 2021-22.

Flyers' Zack MacEwen: Claimed off waivers
Rotowire
The Flyers claimed MacEwen off waivers from the Canucks on Wednesday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
MacEwen had just one goal and one assist through 34 games with the Canucks last season. He can offer some value with his 44 PIM and 65 hits from last year, but he figures to play in a very limited role in Philadelphia.

Canucks' Zack MacEwen: Placed on waivers
Rotowire
MacEwen was waived by the Canucks on Tuesday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
MacEwen played 34 games for Vancouver last season, netting just one goal and one assist. His fantasy value is limited to peripheral stats, as he posted 44 PIM and 65 hits in 2020-21. He won't have a regular role with the big club this year but could receive a call-up down the line.
MacEwen (illness) participated in practice Thursday, Ben Kuzma of The Vancouver Province reports.
MacEwen missed the last two games of last season with an illness. The 25-year-old winger has nine points in 55 regular-season games across three campaigns, so he'll likely be limited to a bottom-six role. He plays a physical style, but the lack of offense will keep him off the fantasy radar in most formats.
