Flyers' Zack MacEwen: Opens scoring in victory
Rotowire
MacEwen scored a goal on his lone shot in Monday's 4-0 win over the Sabres.
MacEwen opened the scoring Monday just two minutes into the contest, stuffing home a feed from Patrick Brown in the crease. The goal is MacEwen's first since Nov. 5 and his first point in 12 games. The 26-year-old brings a lot of physicality to the Flyers' lineup (113 hits in 37 games), but he won't offer much offensive upside in a fourth-line role. MacEwen has four goals and five assists this season.

Flyers' Zack MacEwen: Set to play against Jackets
Rotowire
MacEwan (illness) is expected to suit up versus Columbus on Tuesday.
MacEwan has played in just one of the team's last three contests due to injury and illness. Considering the 26-year-old natural center has just one point in his last 12 contests, few fantasy players are likely to be impacted by his return to the lineup. Given his limited offensive upside, MacEwan shouldn't be expected to offer more than low-end fantasy value, even in formats that value defensive stats.
