Ristolainen looked like he was nearing a return for the Flyers. Now they must decide how to move forward on the blue line.
Flyers defenseman Emil Andrae skates after the puck against New Jersey center Dawson Mercer during a preseason game on Sept. 30., it seemed as if fellow veteran defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen was nearing a return from injured reserve, where he’s been since before the season started.looked as if they would be able to continue rotating their young defensemen — Egor Zamula and Emil Andrae — in and out of the lineup while still maintaining some veteran presence on the back end.
But in the case of Andrae, a 2020 second-round pick, it’s unclear if this current path is the right one for his development. The Swedish prospect, while a bit undersized at 5-foot-9, has been regarded as an offensive-minded blueliner. However, he had yet to register a shot on net in three games entering Tuesday’s game against the undefeated Golden Knights. And at times he has looked a bit overmatched in the Flyers’ defensive zone.
“We’ve been playing against some really good teams these first three games for me,” Andrae said. “It’s been a fun experience. I feel OK, but I feel like I have more. Especially my puck movement. It’s a lot faster out there and you obviously don’t want to make mistakes, but I feel like I haven’t gotten to my game yet and hopefully I can get better and better.
