Flyers’ Leading Scorer Tyson Foerster Sidelined 2–3 Months With Upper-Body Injury

The timeline likely keeps him out until after the Olympic break.

Overview

  • GM Danny Brière announced the 23-year-old winger will miss two to three months after being hurt Monday against the Penguins.
  • He left clutching his right arm following a non-contact one-timer during a 5-on-3 and was ruled out for the rest of the game.
  • Foerster had just scored his team-leading 10th goal and has 13 points in 21 games during a breakout start as a key two-way forward.
  • The team did not specify an injured-reserve move, and internal options include promoting Nikita Grebenkin or recalling Alex Bump, Carl Grundström, or Anthony Richard from the AHL.
  • Philadelphia must redistribute top-nine and special-teams minutes in his absence, with a recall not strictly required yet given 12 healthy forwards on the roster.
