Flyers' 2020 1st-rounder Foerster makes NHL debut vs. Hurricanes
Philadelphia Flyers prospect Tyson Foerster made his NHL debut Thursday against the Carolina Hurricanes. He recorded a pair of shots in just under 14 minutes on ice during the Flyers' 1-0 loss to Carolina.
Foerster was recalled from the AHL's Lehigh Valley Phantoms on an emergency basis due to injuries to forwards Wade Allison and Brendan Lemieux.
The Flyers selected Foerster 23rd overall at the 2020 NHL Draft. The 6-foot-2 winger has recorded 18 goals and 20 assists in 56 games with the Phantoms this season.
Foerster enjoyed a stellar junior career with the OHL's Barrie Colts, racking up 114 points across 139 contests. He also won a gold medal with Canada at the 2022 World Junior Championship, where he contributed three goals and three helpers in seven games.
