Foerster (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Monday, retroactive to Nov. 1.
Foerster was already slated to miss the Flyers' next few games after getting hurt while blocking a shot against the Maple Leafs on Saturday, so it isn't very surprising to see him land on injured reserve. Owen Tippett or Rodrigo Abols will likely move up the lineup in Foerster's absence, while defenseman Emil Andrae was recalled from AHL Lehigh Valley on Monday.

Flyers' Tyson Foerster: Nets power-play snipe
Rotowire
Foerster scored a power-play goal in Saturday's 5-2 loss to Toronto.
He wired a one-timer from the left circle that beat Anthony Stolarz to cut Philadelphia's deficit to 4-2. Foerster has four goals and seven points in 11 games this season, with three of those goals coming in his last six outings. Foerster is still just 23 years of age, and he's poised to top his 25-goal, 43-point career high, which he set last campaign.

Flyers' Tyson Foerster: Nets lone goal in loss
Rotowire
Foerster scored a goal and added three hits in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Senators.
Foerster scored 29 seconds into the game, but that goal was the only one Linus Ullmark gave up. It continues Foerster's excellent start to the year, which has seen him rack up three goals and three helpers, as well as 13 shots, five hits and a plus-6 rating, over seven appearances. Foerster should have no trouble maintaining a top-six job as long as he's playing at this level, and he should be on the radar for fantasy managers who were hesitant to draft him after he missed part of camp while recovering from an elbow infection.

Flyers' Tyson Foerster: Records helper
Rotowire
Foerster notched an assist and three shots on goal in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Hurricanes.
Foerster missed time in training camp while getting back to 100 percent after dealing with an elbow infection that required a procedure. The 23-year-old winger has filled a third-line role to start 2025-26, and he's earned an assist in each of the first two games. He's added five shots on net and a plus-2 rating. The Flyers' top three lines are still fairly interchangeable, so Foerster remains in a good spot to build on his 25-goal, 43-point campaign from 2024-25.

Flyers' Tyson Foerster: Not cleared for contact yet
Rotowire
Foerster (elbow) could be cleared for contact in about a week, according to Charlie O'Connor of PHLY Sports on Tuesday.
Foerster should participate in the Flyers' exhibition schedule after getting the green light. He had an offseason procedure to address an infection in his elbow. The 23-year-old forward accounted for 25 goals, 43 points, 142 shots on net and 75 hits across 81 regular-season appearances in 2024-25. Foerster remains on track to be available for Opening Night against the Islanders on Oct. 9.

Flyers' Tyson Foerster: Should be available Opening Night
Rotowire
Foerster (elbow) is expected to be ready for Opening Night against the Islanders on Oct. 9, Sam Carchidi of Philly Hockey Now reports Thursday.
Foerster suffered his elbow injury at the IIHF World Championship, which raised doubts regarding his availability to start the season with the Flyers. Once given the all-clear, the winger could push for a top-six role, especially given the lack of experienced depth at forward. Barring a significant drop off in his production, Foerster should be capable of reaching both the 25-goal and 40-point thresholds this year, marks he hit in 2024-25.

Rotowire
Foerster scored three goals, including one on the game-winner, in Wednesday's 8-5 victory over the Rangers.
The 23-year-old winger got Philadelphia on the board midway through the second period, then struck twice late in the third as the Flyers found the back of the net five times in the final 12 minutes.

Flyers' Tyson Foerster: Pair of points Saturday
Rotowire
Foerster scored a goal on two shots, dished an assist and added two PIM in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Sabres.
Foerster earned his first multi-point effort in over a month -- his last was a three-point game Feb. 25 versus the Penguins. The 23-year-old winger has two goals and three assists over his last five contests as he looks to finish the year strong. Overall, he's produced a career-high 35 points (18 goals, 17 assists) with 126 shots on net, 69 hits, 51 blocked shots, 45 PIM and a minus-10 rating over 74 outings.

Flyers' Tyson Foerster: Receiving more ice time
Rotowire
Foerster recorded an assist, two hits and a plus-1 rating in a team-high 23:25 of ice time in Sunday's 3-1 loss to New Jersey.
Foerster has seen his ice time increase in each of the last three games, and Sunday marked the second-most he has received in 2024-25, so he appears to be earning more trust from head coach John Tortorella. Foerster could be a name worth keeping an eye on for fantasy managers if he continues to log heavy minutes on the top line, though the Flyers' struggles as a team could challenge that notion. The right-shot winger has contributed 16 goals and 14 assists over 64 appearances this season.

Flyers' Tyson Foerster: Goals in back-to-back games
Rotowire
Foerster scored a power-play goal Thursday in a 4-3 loss to Washington.
The goal snapped a Philly 0-for-10 streak with the man advantage over five games. Foerster has a goal in each of his last two games and 15 on the season. He's on pace to top his 20-goal career mark, which he set last season. But Foerster's 17.9 shooting percentage is well above his 12.0 percent from his rookie season. We don't know which rate is closer to his norm, but his current sub-40 point pace should keep him on the bench in all but the deepest of leagues.

Flyers' Tyson Foerster: Opens scoring in overtime loss
Rotowire
Foerster scored a goal on two shots and three hits in Sunday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Maple Leafs.
Foerster is thriving in a middle-six role, racking up six goals and three assists over his last nine outings.

Foerster is up to 12 goals, 19 points, 62 shots, 27 hits, 33 PIM and a minus-2 rating over 39 appearances this season. He's a bit of an agitator, but he hasn't fully tapped into his physical play this year, limiting his fantasy upside to deeper formats for now.

Flyers' Tyson Foerster: Stays hot in win
Rotowire
Foerster scored a goal on two shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Blue Jackets.
Foerster set up Noah Cates for a game-tying goal midway through the third period, then scored another equalizer himself with 1:44 left to send the contest to overtime. With six points over his last three games, Foerster is quite hot all of a sudden, which has led to his ice time going on the rise. He's still listed on the third line but has seen more top-six minutes recently. The winger is at nine goals, 16 points, 53 shots on net, 20 hits, 31 PIM and a minus-5 rating through 33 outings overall.

Rotowire
Foerster scored two goals and added an assist in Thursday's 7-3 loss to the Kings.
It was the first multi-point performance of the season for Foerster, and the first three-point effort of the 22-year-old's career. The 23rd overall pick in the 2020 Draft has found a groove over the last month, picking up six goals and 11 points over the last 16 games after managing only three points (two goals and an assist) in his first 16 appearances of 2024-25.

Flyers' Tyson Foerster: Grabs helper in loss
Rotowire
Foerster logged an assist, two hits and two PIM in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Flyers.
Foerster went from being a healthy scratch Tuesday to a top-line role at even strength Wednesday, though he saw just 13:51 of ice time. The 22-year-old has gotten off to a slow start with two points through six contests this season. He's added 10 shots on net, 19 PIM, five hits and a minus-3 rating, and he'll likely bounce around the lineup some more as head coach John Tortorella struggles to find line combinations that lead to positive results for the 1-5-1 Flyers.

Foerster scored a power-play goal on four shots in Friday's 3-2 shootout win over the Canucks.
Foerster had the Flyers' first goal of the season, tallying at 17:24 of the first period to tie the game at 1-1. The winger was decent as a rookie in 2023-24 with 20 goals, 13 assists, 167 shots on net and 101 hits over 77 appearances. He's beginning this season in a top-six role, and while head coach John Tortorella often shuffles his lines, Foerster should still be a key player throughout the campaign.
