The Philadelphia Flyers are set to face off against the Buffalo Sabres on Jan. 14. The Flyers will be looking to get back into the win column after losing each of their last three games. 

The Flyers are certainly going up against a hot Sabres club, as Buffalo has won 13 out of their last 15 games. This included the Sabres defeating the Flyers by a 5-3 final score on Dec. 18.

However, ahead of their contest against the Sabres, the Flyers announced some good news. The Metropolitan Division club shared that defenseman Jamie Drysdale has been activated off injured reserve. 

Drysdale has not played since receiving a dirty hit from Anaheim Ducks forward Ross Johnston on Jan. 6, which forced the Flyers blueliner to exit the game. Yet, with Drysdale now being activated off injured reserve, he is now available to play against Buffalo. 

Drysdale being ready to return is excellent news for the Flyers, as he is a very important part of their blueline. The 23-year-old defenseman is in the middle of a solid year with Philadelphia, as he has posted three goals, 15 assists, 18 points, and a plus-1 rating in 41 games so far this season.
