The Flyers announced Wednesday that Foerster underwent successful surgery on his arm Monday and is expected to miss approximately five months.

EDGE Analysis

Foerster was diagnosed with an upper-body injury in early December, and he initially had a return timetable of 2-3 months when he was placed on injured reserve. However, he's slated to miss the remainder of the regular season following his surgery, and it's unclear whether he'd be able to return for a potential playoff run. Over 21 appearances to begin the regular season, Foerster recorded 10 goals, three assists, 20 hits, 18 blocked shots and 18 PIM while averaging 17:27 of ice time.

EDGE Analysis

The Flyers announced Tuesday that Foerster is expected to miss the next 2-3 months, so his placement on injured reserve isn't surprising. He has 10 goals and 13 points in 21 outings this season. Matvei Michkov should see an increase in his workload due to Foerster's absence.

Foerster (upper body) will be out for 2-3 months, the team announced Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

More details regarding Foerster's injury may be revealed if the team decides to announce the results of the winger's MRI. The 23-year-old is now slated to be out until at least early February, though it seems probable that it will be longer if the club decides to hold him out through the Olympic break. The Flyers have just two games during the first week of February before the NHL's two-week halt in the schedule in the middle of the month.

Foerster (upper body) had an MRI on Tuesday, though the team hasn't released any details regarding his injury, Kevin Kurz of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Foerster was forced to exit Monday's matchup with the Penguins after suffering his upper-body injury. Since returning from a previous four-game absence in early November, the 23-year-old winger scored six goals in 10 games, including one with the man advantage. If Foerster does miss any time, it would likely open up a spot in the top six for Matvei Michkov. While not officially ruled out, it seems unlikely Foerster will suit up versus the Sabres on Wednesday.

Foerster sustained an upper-body injury during Monday's home game versus the Penguins and will not return.

EDGE Analysis

Foerster was hurt on a one-timer attempt in the middle frame and skated to the bench holding his right shoulder, according to Will James of Philly Hockey Now. It was a non-contact injury, so fantasy managers should brace for the worst with respect to Foerster's outlook going forward, at least in the short term. If Foerster is forced to miss any additional time, Matvei Michkov could move up to a top-six role, while Nicolas Deslauriers would be a candidate to rejoin the lineup. The Flyers could also roll with 11 forwards and seven blueliners, which would see Egor Zamula get some playing time.

Foerster scored a goal with his lone shot of the game in Friday's 4-3 shootout win over the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

Foerster has found the back of the net in four of the Flyers' last five games, tallying five goals on 11 shots over that span. With 12 points across 19 contests this campaign, Foerster seems to be on pace to hover around the 45-point mark. For what it's worth, he posted 43 points in 81 regular-season appearances in 2024-25.

Foerster scored a goal and blocked three shots in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

Foerster's picked up four goals over his last four games, and his latest tally was a clutch one. He scored with 46 seconds left in the third period, giving the Flyers their first lead of the contest, and his goal stood as the game-winner. On the year, the 23-year-old winger has eight goals, including two game-winners, three assists, 36 shots, 17 hits, 15 blocked shots, 16 PIM and a plus-6 rating through 18 appearances.

Foerster scored two goals and placed three shots on net in Saturday's 6-3 win over New Jersey.

EDGE Analysis

Foerster caught fire midway through the first period, when he netted two goals just 17 seconds apart, with the first goal coming nine seconds after a Matvei Michkov tally. Foerster has three goals in his last two games and 10 points through 16 appearances this year. He's warming back up after missing four games with a lower-body injury and should see plenty of top-six minutes moving forward. After a 25-goal campaign in 81 games last year, Foerster projects as a solid fantasy option in standard formats and is a top streaming target in deep leagues.

Foerster scored a goal, took three shots and added a hit in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Blues.

EDGE Analysis

Foerster evened things up for the Flyers at the 11:49 mark of the third period with a slap shot. The winger missed four games in a row from Nov. 2 - Nov. 8 due to a lower body injury, and this was his first goal since returning from IR. On the season, Foerster has five goals and eight points across 15 outings. He should continue to find ways to produce as long as he remains in a top-six role in the lineup.

EDGE Analysis

Foerster appears to be good to go after missing the last four games. The 23-year-old winger will slot into a third-line role alongside Noah Cates and Bobby Brink. Foerster generated a point in seven of his opening 11 outings, including a pair of power-play goals.
