Overview
- The team confirmed Thursday after morning skate that Tyson Foerster will play against Detroit, ending a 49-game absence since Dec. 1.
- Morning line rushes placed the winger with Trevor Zegras and Owen Tippett on Philadelphia’s top line for the matchup.
- Coaches also put Foerster on the first power-play unit with Zegras, Travis Konecny, Christian Dvorak and Rasmus Ristolainen.
- Foerster returns about five months after arm surgery that had been expected to end his season.
- Before the injury he scored 10 goals in 21 games, a boost for a Flyers team two points out of a playoff spot after a 7-2-1 run.
