Tyson Foerster News: Scores in return from arm injury

Foerster scored a goal on four shots and added two hits in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Red Wings.

Foerster was initially injured Dec. 1, and he was given a five-month timeline to return after undergoing surgery Dec. 15. He returned faster than expected and was able to play 16:19 in his first game back, scoring the Flyers' first goal just 31 ticks into the second period. Injuries have made this a bit of a lost year for the winger, but he's still amassed 11 goals, 14 points, 45 shots on net, 22 hits, 18 blocked shots, 18 PIM and a plus-7 rating over 22 outings. Foerster will be a candidate for top-six minutes and power-play time while the Flyers try to pull off a long-shot attempt at making the playoffs.
