- On Dec. 17, the Philadelphia Flyers announced that forward Tyson Foerster was set to miss five months after undergoing surgery, effectively ending his 2025-26 regular season. Yesterday, The Athletic’s Kevin Kurz relayed word from general manager Daniel Briere regarding Foerster’s injury timeline. Briere noted that the original announcement of five months was more of a “range” than a specific timeline, noting that Foerster’s actual recovery timeline “could be a little less” or “a little more” and that the club does not know “exactly for sure” when Foerster will be able to return. That’s not out of the ordinary given that teams can’t fully predict the future in terms of how a player’s body will respond to a recovery process, but it does provide at least a little bit of room for optimism that Foerster may not miss quite as much time as has been projected. The 23-year-old 2020 first-round pick scored 10 goals and 13 points in 21 games this season.
