Daily News | With the deadline approaching, Flyers forward Derick Brassard could be a potential candidate for a trade
, who is set to become an unrestricted free agent in the offseason and could waive his no-movement clause to facilitate a transaction to a Stanley Cup contender.
The same happened upon his return on Jan. 6 against the Pittsburgh Penguins, leading Brassard to sit out for another month until Feb. 9 against the Detroit Red Wings. Upon his return to the lineup Saturday, Brassard slotted in on the third line alongside wingers James van Riemsdyk and Gerry Mayhew. Interim coach Mike Yeo also brought Brassard back to the second power-play unit, where he was featured prior to his injury.
“That’s the best I’ve felt since I got that injury, obviously,” Brassard said after the game. “But from watching, I think the boys have been trying really hard, competing really hard, getting really close. I know I’ve been missing games, but I think tonight we got rewarded and it feels awesome to win a game here in front of our fans.”
