it looks like Jamie Drysdale is set to return to the Philadelphia Flyers lineup today (January 14, 2026). The Flyers play at Buffalo against the Sabres tonight, and all signs point to him being back after his upper-body injury.He was placed on IR retroactive to January 6, making him eligible to return starting today. Coach Rick Tocchet called him (and Bobby Brink) a “possibility” for the game yesterday.
The Flyers loaned defenseman Adam Ginning back to the AHL Lehigh Valley Phantoms on January 13, which is widely seen as clearing a roster spot for Drysdale’s activation.Multiple reports from yesterday describe it as a strong or near-certain sign he’ll play tonight.
He’s been practicing and skating recently, and his absence has been noticeable—Drysdale had 18 points in 41 games this season with solid 5-on-5 play and high ice time. The morning skate in Buffalo today should confirm it officially, but based on the moves and updates, your statement checks out—he should be back in action tonight.
