Friedman detailed the unfortunate incident that led to Drysdale's injury during the Flyers' recent clash with the Pittsburgh Penguins. The defenseman took a heavy hit from Penguins' Jansen Harkins, which resulted in him leaving the game.
This injury is a significant setback for both Drysdale and the Flyers. Drysdale, a promising talent in the NHL, had been making noticeable progress with Philadelphia after facing challenges with injuries early in his career.
