Flyers Expect Tyson Foerster to Be Ready for Opening Night

A promising late-July MRI eased concerns over his top-six role, clearing a roster spot that had been eyed by young wingers.

Overview

Flyers general manager Danny Brière said Foerster “should be ready for the season” after an encouraging follow-up MRI on his elbow.
The elbow surgery addressed an infection that developed after an injury sustained while playing for Team Canada at the World Hockey Championships.
Foerster is coming off a career-high 25-goal campaign and has been penciled into a top-six role to boost Philadelphia’s offensive depth.
The expectation of his availability may have influenced the decision to send 2025 first-round pick Porter Martone to Michigan State instead of NHL camp.
Foerster’s health clears one of the last roster spots and intensifies competition among young wingers for final openings at training camp.
