Foerster scored a goal on three shots and added two PIM in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Avalanche.
That's goals in back-to-back games for Foerster, who appears to be exiting a lengthy slump after rediscovering his game on the fourth line. He's seen consistent power-play time even amid the struggles, which is a good sign that he'll be able to get his offense back on track. Overall, Foerster has four goals, one assist, 28 shots on net, 25 PIM and 13 hits across 18 appearances.

Flyers' Tyson Foerster: Snaps slump on power play
Rotowire
Foerster scored a power-play goal on four shots in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Sabres.
Foerster entered Saturday mired in a seven-game slump before scoring at 13:57 of the first period. Coach John Tortorella has moved the winger all around the lineup -- Foerster started the year in a top-six role, and he's been scratched once, but he's now on the fourth line amid his recent slump. The 22-year-old is at three goals, one assist, 25 shots on net, 13 hits, 23 PIM and a minus-5 rating through 17 contests. He put up 33 points in 77 games as a rookie in 2023-24, so there's a lot of potential in his game as long as he can keep his confidence up amid the struggles.

When in the lineup, Foerster has often played in a top-six role with power-play time, but that could change if his production continues to lag.

Rotowire
Foerster logged an assist, two hits and two PIM in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Flyers.
Foerster went from being a healthy scratch Tuesday to a top-line role at even strength Wednesday, though he saw just 13:51 of ice time. The 22-year-old has gotten off to a slow start with two points through six contests this season. He's added 10 shots on net, 19 PIM, five hits and a minus-3 rating, and he'll likely bounce around the lineup some more as head coach John Tortorella struggles to find line combinations that lead to positive results for the 1-5-1 Flyers.
