Jamie Drysdale contributed offensively again for the Flyers in this shootout loss, as he had an assist on Bobby Brink's first-period goal. With this, Drysdale has extended his point streak to three games, where he has four over that span.
Drysdale's hot streak started on Jan. 11, when he had a big night against his former team, the Anaheim Ducks. The 2020 sixth-overall pick scored a nice goal and added an assist. He has not slowed down since. This is immensely encouraging for the Flyers, as Drysdale is one of their most promising young players.
