Derick Brassard has called it a career after 16 NHL seasons with 10 different teams. The 36-year-old last played in the NHL with Ottawa in 2022-23 and had 215 goals and 545 points in 1013 career NHL games played. He never ended up winning a Stanley Cup but was an integral part of New York's 2014 Finals run.
Brassard has eight goals, seven assists, 73 SOG, 24 PIMs and a -1 plus/minus through 44 games this season but will be a healthy scratch Monday vs. Boston. He heads to the press box as the newly acquired winger, Julien Gauthier takes his spot in the Senators' lineup. Brassard is five games off of reaching 1000 on his career.
Brassard was a healthy scratch for the Senators' previous game but will draw back into the lineup as a replacement for Austin Watson (illness) Friday. The 35-year-old journeyman has eight goals, five assists, 70 SOG, and 22 PIMs through 42 games this season. He is seven games away from reaching his 1000th career game.
Brassard missed the Senators' previous two games but will return to the lineup Tuesday as they take on the Los Angeles Kings. The 16-year veteran has three goals, three assists and 34 SOG through 16 games this season.
Brassard has three goals and three assists with a +3 plus/minus through 15 games played this season and is a game-time decision Wednesday but is expected to play. The Veteran is in his 16th season with his 10th different team.
Brassard will replace Parker Kelly as he draws back into the Senators' lineup vs. Vegas for the first time since October 29th. The 16-year-veteran has played well in his limited time, scoring a goal and adding four SOG through three games while playing 15:10 ATOI.
Brassard was with the Senators on a PTO and signed a one-year deal on Monday. The 35-year-old had eight goals and 11 assists (19 points) in 46 games with the Flyers and Oilers last season.
Brassard has been in and out of the Flyers lineup pretty much all season long, playing in just 20 of their 51 games so far. On Saturday, he will replace Morgan Forst on the third lien and comes in with 11 points (4G / 7A).
This is the third time this season that Brassard returned from injury and then is out for the next game. It's been a very difficult season for Brassard, who will be replaced by Jackson Cates in Detroit.
Brassard has missed the last 11 games with a hip injury but is set to be available for Wednesday's game vs. the Red Wings. Brassard's season has been crushed by injury but has picked up 11 points (4G / 7A) in 19 games this season.
Brassard returned to the lineup on Thursday, playing 16:40 TOI with three shots in the loss to the Penguins. However, he had a flare-up of his hip issue and is considered doubtful to be in the lineup on Saturday.
Brassard, Carter Hart and Scott Laughton join Sean Couturier, who was added to the protocol list on Sunday. Despite losing four regulars to start the week, they are expected to get Kevin Hayes and Morgan Frost back in time for Wednesday's game.
Brassard returned to the lineup on Wednesday but will be held out on Friday. Head coach said it's in "his best interest not to play tonight." Max Willman will replace Brassard in the bottom-6.
Brassard has missed the last six games with a hip injury but will play Wednesday in New Jersey. Brassard will play on the Flyers' fourth line with Patrick Brown and Zack MacEwen.
Brassard will miss at least one week with the lower-body injury that he suffered on Tuesday. Expect Morgan Frost to remain with the Flyers while Brassard is sidelined.
Brassard left Tuesday's game after playing just 2:42 TOI and did not return. With a back-to-back, Brassard's status for Wednesday's game is understandably uncertain. The Flyers recalled Morgan Frost from the AHL, which is a good indicatory that Brassard won't play.
