Flyers Expect Foerster to Be Ready for Opening Night

Foerster’s recovery secures his spot in the top six, setting the stage for a crowded training camp roster fight.

Overview

  • General manager Danny Brière said a late-July MRI showed promising results and that Foerster “should be ready for the season.”
  • Foerster underwent elbow surgery in July to treat an infection stemming from an injury at the World Hockey Championship.
  • The 23-year-old winger signed a two-year, $7.5 million extension in May after recording a career-high 25 goals last season.
  • His expected availability removes a potential opening for prospects and intensifies competition for fourth-line and call-up spots.
  • Foerster is slated for a top-six role, potentially lining up with Noah Cates and Bobby Brink or joining Sean Couturier or Trevor Zegras.
