History
2009-10: Brayden Schenn posted 34 goals and 65 assists in 59 games with the Brandon Wheat Kings of the WHL. In the playoffs, he posted 8 goals and 11 assists in 15 games. Schenn made his NHL debut with the Kings on November 26th, where he logged 19 shifts and 12:31 in ice time.
2010-11: Schenn opened the season with the Los Angeles Kings, appearing in eight games before being returned to Brandon (WHL). He had 2 assists and was minus-one, averaging 11 minutes of ice time with Los Angeles. Schenn joined the Kings' AHL Manchester for the last seven games of the season, scoring 3 goals with 4 assists, and was plus-three with 4 penalty minutes. In five AHL playoff games he scored 1 goal with 3 assists and was plus-two. Schenn played in two games with Brandon and scored 1 goal with 3 assists before joining Canada for the 2011 U20 World Junior Championships. He led all scorers while playing for the silver-medal winning squad. Schenn scored 8 goals with 10 assists and was plus-10 in seven games before suffering a separated shoulder. He finished the WHL season with Saskatoon after a trade deadline deal. Once healthy, he played in 27 games for the Blades and scored 21 goals with 32 assists and was plus-18 with 23 penalty minutes. In ten playoff games he scored 6 goals with 5 assists and was minus-seven with 14 penalty minutes. Schenn was acquired by Philadelphia from the Los Angeles Kings in a multi-player trade in June 2011.
2011-12: Limited to six games in the early part of the season due to a pre-season shoulder injury and then a broken foot, Schenn joined the Flyers for good in late December. After a fast start, which included a goal against the Rangers in the Winter Classic, Schenn proved to be a streaky scorer for the Flyers, going one nine-game stretch in March without a point, but re-emerging as a key offensive threat in the playoffs. Schenn scored 12 goals with 6 assists and was minus-seven with 34 penalty minutes in 54 regular season games. He had 3 goals with 6 assists, finishing minus-three, in 11 playoff games as Philadelphia advanced to the second round. Schenn skated in seven AHL games with Adirondack during rehab assignments and scored 6 goals with 6 assists.
