Flyers' Rodrigo Abols: Two helpers in Monday's win
Rotowire
Abols pocketed two assists in Monday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.
The Flyers' new fourth line of Abols, Nikita Grebenkin and Carl Grundstrom made a surprising impact, combining for the team's first two goals of the night and five points between them. Abols has just five points on the season in 30 games, but four of them (one goal and three helpers) have come in the last six contests.

Flyers' Rodrigo Abols: Rare goal in shootout loss
Rotowire
Abols scored a shorthanded goal Saturday in a 5-4 shootout loss to the Rangers.
It came on a 3-on-1 rush in the second period to give the Flyers a 4-2 lead. It was the Flyers' first shorthanded goal of the campaign. Abols has two goals and one assist in 29 games this season. He's a classic better-on-the-ice-than-in-the-fantasy-arena guy.

Flyers' Rodrigo Abols: Plucks apple in shootout loss
Rotowire
Abols logged an assist in Saturday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Hurricanes.
Abols ended a 10-game point drought with the helper. The 29-year-old is currently centering the Flyers' fourth line with Carl Grundstrom and Garnet Hathaway, which has arguably been the most productive iteration of that unit this season. Abols has just two points with 22 shots on net, 29 hits, 11 PIM and a minus-5 rating over 25 appearances, so it's unlikely he'll score enough to help fantasy managers.

Flyers' Rodrigo Abols: Gets first goal of season
Rotowire
Abols scored a goal on four shots and added two hits in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Blues.
The 29-year-old forward struggled to get into the lineup early in the year, but he's played in 12 of the Flyers' last 13 games. Abols is still firmly in a fourth-line role, and that group has been virtually invisible on offense for Philadelphia so far. Abols is at one goal, 16 shots on net, 14 hits, five blocked shots, five PIM and a minus-3 rating over 14 appearances. While his production won't jump off the page, the ongoing struggles of enforcer Nicolas Deslauriers and youngster Nikita Grebenkin should be enough to keep Abols in the lineup, especially since he can play center.

Flyers' Rodrigo Abols: Inks one-year extension
Rotowire
Abols signed a one-year, $800,000 contract extension with the Flyers on Tuesday, per PuckPedia.
Abols had 29 points in 46 AHL games with Lehigh Valley, as well as five points in 22 NHL contests. The 29-year-old is a bit of a late bloomer, as he got his first look in the NHL in 2024-25, but he did enough to impress the team. Abols' deal is a one-way contract, and while that's not a guarantee he'll be an NHL regular, it sets him up well to be a bottom-six option in 2025-26.

Flyers' Rodrigo Abols: Hands out helper
Rotowire
Abols logged an assist and two hits in Tuesday's 7-2 loss to the Maple Leafs.
Abols snapped a six-game point drought when he helped out on a Ryan Poehling tally in the first period. The 29-year-old Abols has emerged as a bottom-six regular for the Flyers following the trade deadline, but he hasn't been particularly productive on offense. For the season, he has four points, 21 shots on net, 22 hits, 10 blocked shots and a minus-9 rating over 19 NHL appearances.

Rotowire
Abols scored a goal in a 5-2 loss to the Senators on Tuesday.
His goal from the left face-off circle near the mid-point of the second knotted the game 2-2. Abols is a 29-year-old, first-year player from Latvia who is living the dream as a seventh-round long shot (184th overall). He has two goals, one assist and 12 hits in 12 games this season. Abols is a nice story, but he doesn't have fantasy value right now.
