Tyson Foerster Leaves With Upper-Body Injury After Power-Play Goal

Philadelphia awaits test results on its top scorer, leaving short-term lineup plans in flux.

Overview

  • The 23-year-old grabbed at his right shoulder or upper arm after a one-timer during a 5-on-3 against the Penguins.
  • The Flyers announced during the second period that Foerster would not return to the game.
  • The team has not provided a diagnosis or timeline for his recovery.
  • Foerster had just scored his 10th goal to tie the game, giving him 10 goals and 13 points in 21 games with six goals in his past seven.
  • After assigning defenseman Adam Ginning to Lehigh Valley, Philadelphia has an open roster spot, and media have floated Alex Bump as a potential recall if needed.
