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.

Flyers' Tyson Foerster: Scoring streak reaches four games
Rotowire
Foerster found the back of the net in a 2-1 overtime win over Pittsburgh on Monday.
That marker extended Foerster's scoring streak to four games, giving him four goals and six points over that span. The 21-year-old hadn't accomplished much offensively going into this hot streak, supplying just a goal and four points over his first 20 contests this campaign. Taken with the No. 23 overall pick in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft, Foerster has significant offensive upside, so this recent stretch might just be a taste of what he'll provide in the long run. It helps that the Flyers are deploying him on their first line and top power-play unit.
