Overview

  • General manager Danny Brière announced Foerster will miss two to three months after getting hurt in Monday’s 5–1 loss to the Penguins.
  • The 23-year-old appeared to injure his right shoulder/upper arm on a non-contact one-timer and was ruled out for the remainder of the game.
  • Foerster leads Philadelphia with 10 goals in 21 games and has been a key two-way contributor on both the power play and penalty kill.
  • The recovery window is expected to extend through the Olympic break, projecting an absence of 30-plus games.
  • Tocchet promoted Nikita Grebenkin into the top nine with Noah Cates and Bobby Brink, adjusted power-play units featuring Matvei Michkov, Owen Tippett, Trevor Zegras and Travis Sanheim, and the club recalled Carl Grundström while evaluating further AHL options.
