Flyers Activate Tyson Foerster From IR, Reassign Carl Grundström to AHL

His return restores Philadelphia’s special-teams balance after a four-game absence.

Overview

  • The Flyers announced Foerster’s activation on Nov. 12, and he is set to play against the Oilers.
  • Head coach Rick Tocchet earlier listed him as a game-time decision, saying it was likelier than not he would play.
  • Philadelphia created the roster spot by loaning Carl Grundström to the AHL’s Lehigh Valley Phantoms.
  • Foerster had been on injured reserve since Nov. 3 with a lower-body injury and missed four games.
  • Before the injury he recorded four goals and three assists in 11 games with 18:18 average ice time, logging heavy power-play and penalty-kill minutes as the Flyers went 2-1-1 in his absence.
