During what should have been a celebratory moment following a goal, the Philadelphia Flyers’ joy quickly diminished due to an injury sustained in the play. Early in the second period of Monday night’s game against their rivals, the Pittsburgh Penguins, Tyson Foerster scored a power-play one-timer to even the score at 1-1.<\/p>\n
However, Foerster experienced a non-contact injury while taking the shot, collapsing to the ice with his right arm first and promptly exiting the rink through the tunnel. The 23-year-old winger, who had just notched his 10th goal of the season in only 21 games, showed his frustration by throwing his gloves down in the tunnel.<\/p>\n
About 20 minutes later, the Flyers announced that Foerster would not return to the game due to an upper-body injury. Despite this setback and the potential loss of an important top-six forward, the Flyers managed to clear a roster spot by waiving defenseman Adam Ginning, who was then assigned to the AHL’s Lehigh Valley Phantoms.<\/p>\n
With previous rumors about recalling Alex Bump from the minors, the former NCAA standout appears to be the likely candidate to move up to the NHL following Foerster’s injury. This season, Foerster has played 21 games, tallying 10 goals, three assists, and 13 points.<\/p>\n
Fan Take: Tyson Foerster\u2019s injury is a significant blow to the Flyers, as losing a promising young scorer could impact their offensive depth.
