Flyers' Tyson Foerster: Goals in back-to-back games
Rotowire
Foerster scored a power-play goal Thursday in a 4-3 loss to Washington.
The goal snapped a Philly 0-for-10 streak with the man advantage over five games. Foerster has a goal in each of his last two games and 15 on the season. He's on pace to top his 20-goal career mark, which he set last season. But Foerster's 17.9 shooting percentage is well above his 12.0 percent from his rookie season. We don't know which rate is closer to his norm, but his current sub-40 point pace should keep him on the bench in all but the deepest of leagues.

Flyers' Tyson Foerster: Nets goal Tuesday
Rotowire
Foerster scored a goal on the lone shot he took in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to Utah.
Foerster lit the lamp just under five minutes into the second period off a feed from captain Sean Couturier. His goal stood as the go-ahead tally until Utah's Dylan Guenther scored two straight to steal the win from Philadelphia. The 23-year-old winger is up to 14 goals, 24 points and 82 shots on net in 54 games this season. Tuesday's goal was Foerster's first point since Jan. 24, ending a five-game drought. The winger's third year in the NHL has had many ups and downs but he remains on pace to set a new career high for points in a season. While more consistent options are likely available on the waiver wire, Foerster's upside and middle-six minutes make him a solid play in fantasy for the time being.

The winger has found decent consistency in a middle-six role with power-play time this season. He's up to 12 goals, eight helpers, 69 shots on net, 28 hits, 35 PIM and a minus-6 rating over 43 appearances. That level of production could be helpful in deeper fantasy formats.

Flyers' Tyson Foerster: Grabs helper in loss
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.
