Trevor Zegras home point streak comes to an end. He will remain tied for the franchise record for Home Game Point Streak to start Flyers career at eight games, sharing the record with Peter Zezel ’84 and Peter Forsberg ’05.
Tyson Foerster was not in the lineup after blocking a shot last night on the inside of his left foot. He is expected to miss the next few games as the team determines the severity of the injury.
According to a source, he will be re-evaluated in the coming days to get a better diagnosis of the injury. It doesn’t sound great right now, but time will tell.
Sean Couturier re-entered the lineup for Foerster. Couturier missed last night’s game with an upper-body injury sustained in Thursday’s win over Nashville.
Joel Farabee and Morgan Frost made their second return to Philadelphia since the trade. The pair were held scoreless on the night.
The Flyers return to action on Tuesday night when they travel to Montreal to take on the Canadiens at 7:00pm to start a two game roadtrip.
