US EditionFlyers: Tyson Foerster will miss 5 months after arm surgery
Foerster was leading the Flyers with 10 goals before his injury and will miss roughly five months after surgery, impacting a team seeking to end its five-year playoff drought.
- The Philadelphia Flyers announced Monday that Tyson Foerster underwent arm surgery and will need about five months to recover, ending his regular season.
- On Dec. 1, Foerster was hurt while attempting a one-timer and placed on injured reserve on Dec. 3, with surgery decided after medical consultation and diagnostic testing.
- The winger was in the midst of a career season, with 13 points in 21 games and a team-high 10 goals, and Travis Konecny said weeks ago, `Those aren't guys you can just plug in and out`.
- The loss is a major blow to a 17-9-6 Philadelphia Flyers club, forcing Owen Tippett and Bobby Brink to shoulder more scoring while considering recalls like Alex Bump or Anthony Richard from Lehigh Valley.
- The Flyers' scoring woes — 2.84 goals per game and a 15.9 power play — amplify the impact of Foerster's loss, who had offseason elbow surgery after a Team Canada infection.
