Flyers' Ryan Poehling: Three points against Jackets
Rotowire
Poehling scored a shorthanded goal that proved to be the game-winner and delivered two assists in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
The 24-year-old came into Sunday with just one goal and two points through 14 games. Poehling was all over the ice in this one -- he helped set up Joel Farabee early in the first period for the game's opening tally, finished off a two-on-nothing breakaway with Garnet Hathaway in the second, then got the puck to Cam York for an empty-netter in the third. Poehling was taken 25th overall by Montreal in the 2017 NHL Draft and posted 14 goals and 31 points over 35 games in his last couple AHL stints. As long as he remains in a bottom-six role with the Flyers, opportunities to show he might have some untapped offensive upside will be few and far between.

Flyers' Ryan Poehling: Nets goal in win
Rotowire
Poehling generated a goal in Wednesday's win over the Hurricanes.
The goal was Poehling's first tally of the season. He has just one goal and one assist in 13 appearances this season. He logged 17:18 of ice time versus Carolina, a notable bump from his average of 11:59. His fantasy value is very limited, but if he can continue to see increased minutes, he could be worth monitoring in deeper leagues.

Flyers' Ryan Poehling: Snags assist in win
Rotowire
Poehling registered an assist and two shots on goal in Friday's 5-1 win over the Sabres.
Poehling sat out the last two games as a healthy scratch, but he was needed in a fourth-line role with Sean Couturier (lower body) out Friday. The helper was Poehling's first point in nine appearances this season. The 24-year-old center has added nine shots on net, four hits, five blocked shots and a minus-1 rating. His limited role makes him a non-factor in most fantasy formats.

Penguins' Ryan Poehling: Scores goal Sunday
Rotowire
Poehling scored a goal on two shots versus the Flyers on Sunday.
Poehling has recorded two goals, one assist and 12 shots in 10 games back from an upper-body injury. Considering the forward is firmly cemented in a bottom-six role, he probably shouldn't be expected to offer more offensive production than he already has. As such, Poehling figures to remain off the fantasy radar in most formats.

Penguins' Ryan Poehling: Nearing return to action
Rotowire
Poehling (upper body) was a full practice participant Tuesday but won't be in the lineup against Montreal. Coach Mike Sullivan told reporters, "He participated this morning in a full capacity. He has had a couple of those now. That obviously represents significant progress... he will not play tonight but he is getting a whole lot closer."
Poehling was last in action for the Pens back on Feb. 11 against the Kings. The 24-year-old center has played in just 38 games this season in which he recorded five goals, six assists and 49 hits while averaging 10:57 of ice time. Even once fully fit, Poehling is far from a lock for the lineup on a nightly basis, especially once Nick Bonino (abdomen) is cleared to play.
