Tyson Foerster exits the Philadelphia Flyers’ Monday night game against the Pittsburgh Penguins with an upper-body injury after a one-timer on the power play. The winger fell to the ice in visible pain and immediately headed toward the locker room.
Injury Details
Foerster was ruled out for the rest of the game after unloading a shot on the power play. He left the second period in pain and was taken to the locker room via the tunnel at Xfinity Mobile Arena.
Impact on the Flyers
The loss of Foerster creates a significant hole. He leads the club with 10 goals and was on pace for 31 entering Monday night. Coach Rick Tocchet said, ”He’s a good player. I hope it’s not long because he’s a big part of our team.”
Season Context
Foerster had offseason elbow surgery for an infection stemming from an injury sustained while playing for Team Canada at the 2025 IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship. He was ready for the season opener on Oct. 9 but missed four games last month after blocking a shot with his foot.
Key Takeaways
- Foerster exits with upper-body injury after a power-play shot.
- Flyers lose their leading scorer, who had 10 goals and was on pace for 31.
- Offseason elbow surgery and recent foot injury have impacted his play.
The Flyers must fill the void left by their top goal scorer as they continue the season.
