Andrae scored a goal and added an assist in Wednesday's 4-2 win over Florida.
Both points came in the second period, sparking a Flyers' comeback from an early 2-0 deficit. The goal was Andrae's first of 2025-26, and while has has only five points on the season, they've all come in the last six games as the 23-year-old settles into a top-four role on the Philly blue line.

Flyers' Emil Andrae: Provides pair of helpers
Rotowire
Andrae registered two assists and a plus-4 rating in Friday's 6-5 shootout win over the Blues.
This is the kind of performance Andrae needed to solidify his spot on the third pairing. He's played five straight games since his most recent recall from AHL Lehigh Valley on Nov. 3, but Friday's performance was his first to include points this season. He's added six shots on net, five hits, two blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over seven outings overall. The 23-year-old blueliner is far from a must-have option in fantasy, but he'll need to continue making a positive impression to stay in the lineup over Egor Zamula and Adam Ginning.

Flyers' Emil Andrae: Loaned to AHL
Rotowire
Andrae was loaned to AHL Lehigh Valley on Friday.
Andrae has made two appearances for the Flyers this year, and he's been held off the scoresheet while recording a hit and averaging 12:44 of ice time. However, he's drawn praise from head coach Rick Tocchet early in the season, per Charlie O'Connor of PHLY Sports, so it wouldn't be surprising to see Andrae back with the NHL club in the near future.

Flyers' Emil Andrae: Summoned from AHL
Rotowire
Andrae was recalled from AHL Lehigh Valley on Tuesday.
Andrae has collected five assists in six minor-league outings this season. During his lone NHL appearance this year, he posted one shot on goal and logged 10:22 of ice time in a 5-2 win over Florida on Oct. 13. Andrae will be an option for Tuesday's game against Pittsburgh, but it's unclear if he will be in the lineup.

Flyers' Emil Andrae: Recalled to big club
Rotowire
Andrae has been recalled from AHL Lehigh Valley by the Flyers, the team announced Sunday.
Andrae played 42 games with the Flyers last season, registering one goal and six assists, but he started this year in the minors. After one game with Lehigh Valley in which the 23-year-old had two assists, the Flyers are bringing him back up to the NHL level, with Dennis Gilbert going down to the AHL in a corresponding move. It remains to be seen whether or not Andrae was brought up to play immediately or serve as NHL depth.

Flyers' Emil Andrae: Gets on scoresheet Sunday
Rotowire
Andrae notched an assist, two shots on goal, two hits and two blocked shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Senators.
Andrae snapped a 16-game point drought at the NHL level when he helped out on a Noah Cates tally in the second period. The 23-year-old Andrae has played regularly since Rasmus Ristolainen (upper body) exited the lineup. That ice time has mostly been in a third-pairing role for Andrae, who has done a fair but not overly impressive job. He's at seven points, 50 shots on net, 49 blocked shots, 45 hits and a minus-4 rating across 40 NHL outings this season.

Flyers' Emil Andrae: Not taking advantage of opportunity
Rotowire
Andrae has failed to record a point over 14 games since he was recalled from AHL Lehigh Valley on March 7.
Andrae has received another chance to prove himself in the absence of Rasmus Ristolainen (upper body), but it hasn't gone well. In addition to the lack of points, Andrae has a minus-7 rating, 13 hits, 13 blocked shots and 17 shots on net since his recall. He's at six points, 48 shots on net, 47 blocks, 43 hits and a minus-5 rating through 38 outings this season. While he's still just 23 years old, Andrae needs to find an area to excel in if he's going to be part of the Flyers' long-term plans, especially once other prospects are ready to push for his job.

Flyers' Emil Andrae: Returns to AHL
Rotowire
Andrae was reassigned to AHL Lehigh Valley on Saturday.
Andrae earned an assist over four contests during this stint with the big club. The 22-year-old is knocking on the door of being an NHL regular, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him called up ahead of the Flyers' next game Feb. 22 versus the Oilers.

Flyers' Emil Andrae: First point since recall
Rotowire
Andrae logged an assist, two shots on goal, two hits and two PIM in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Capitals.
The helper was Andrae's first point in three contests since he was recalled from AHL Lehigh Valley. He's filling while Rasmus Ristolainen (upper body) and Egor Zamula (upper body) are sidelined. Through 23 outings with the NHL club, Andrae has produced six points, 31 shots on net, 31 blocked shots, 28 hits, 14 PIM and a plus-2 rating. He impressed at times during an earlier stint in the NHL but wasn't able to sustain that level of play, so his stay with the big club this time may not last very long if he starts to struggle.

Flyers' Emil Andrae: Supplies power-play helper
Rotowire
Andrae notched a power-play assist and two PIM in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Bruins.
Andrae snapped a four-game point drought when he helped out on the first of Matvei Michkov's two goals in the first period. The 22-year-old Andrae continues to hold onto a top-four role through steady defensive play, and any offense he adds is a bonus. He's at five points, 23 shots on net, 20 hits, 20 blocked shots, 12 PIM and a plus-6 rating through 17 appearances this season.

Flyers' Emil Andrae: Nets first NHL goal
Rotowire
Andrae scored a goal on two shots and went plus-3 in Monday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Golden Knights.
Andrae's second-period tally was the first of his NHL career. The 22-year-old defenseman has stepped up to become an indispensable part of the Flyers' blue line this season, mainly through strong defensive play. He's collected four points, 17 shots on net, 16 hits, 13 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 12 outings. Andrae will likely stay in the lineup over Helge Grans once Jamie Drysdale (upper body) returns.

Flyers' Emil Andrae: Taking line rushes Friday
Rotowire
Andrae (undisclosed) was a full practice participant Friday, Charlie O'Connor of PHLY Sports reports, indicating he could be an option versus Chicago on Saturday.
Since Cam York (upper body) is also nearing a return to action, Andrae suddenly finds himself in a crowded mix for blue-line minutes. The eventual return of Jamie Drysdale (upper body) may push Andrae even further down the depth chart. Over his 10 outings this year, the 22-year-old Andrae has registered three assists, 13 shots and eight PIM while dishing out 15 hits.

Flyers' Emil Andrae: Out Wednesday

It will be the Flyers' second straight game without Andrae. He has three assists over 10 appearances with Philadelphia in 2024-25. Although the rookie defenseman hasn't contributed a lot offensively yet, he was getting a noteworthy amount of power-play usage before the injury -- he's averaged 2:03 of ice time with the man advantage this season.

Flyers' Emil Andrae: Drops to AHL
Rotowire
Andrae was reassigned to AHL Lehigh Valley on Wednesday, per CapFriendly.
Andrae has played in four of six games for the Flyers so far, but he has yet to record his first NHL point. The defenseman has added six blocked shots, two hits and a minus-1 rating while averaging 13:00 of ice time per game. The Flyers will need to call up a blueliner prior to Thursday's game versus the Wild, as Andrae's reassignment leaves them with five on the roster.
