Team Toyota Flyers Spotlight: Tyson Foerster
Tyson Foerster has had a tough start to his season so far, beyond posting just three points (2g, 1a) in 15 games so far. Prior to his shoulder injury last season (Dec. 1, 2025), he was outstanding in 50-50 battles on the walls. He notched goals in bunches both from distance and near the net. The team has missed most of that from his game since his return at the tail end of 2025-26.
Saturday’s game against Utah was easily Foerster’s best all-around performance of the season to date. He didn’t record a point but he was winning battles and provided pressure near the net in 13:21 of ice time. This was a performance Foerster in particular can use as a stepping stone. The next step is to get back on the scoresheet while contributing the other attention to detail aspects he provided last game.
Behind Enemy Lines: Minnesota on a mission
Ever since they sustained a 2-1 upset loss to the Calgary Flames, the Wild have rattled off a 4-0-1 stretch over their last five games. On Sunday, Minnesota overpowered the host Washington Capitals by a 5-1 count. Notching his 500th career NHL point, Minnesota’s Kirill Kaprisov bagged his 15th goal of the 2026-27 via a late empty netter. The Wild also received goals from star defenseman Quinn Hughes (5th), Michael McCarron (2nd), Maxim Shabanov (PPG, 5th) and Danila Yurov (PPG, 5th). Joel Eriksson Ek and former Flyers winger Bobby Brink chipped in two assists apiece. Goaltender Jesper Wallstedt made 26 saves.

60th Anniversary: Today in Flyers History
The late Pelle Lindbergh blossomed into a superstar NHL goaltender during the 1984-85 season, winning the Vezina Trophy, placing as a Hart Trophy finalist and backstopping the Philadelphia Flyers – the NHL’s youngest team – to within three wins of the Stanley Cup.
As much as any save during his too-short career, Lindbergh’s penalty shot save against Minnesota North Stars forward Scott Bjugstad on November 3, 1984, showed the talented little Swedish netminder at his athletic peak.
On the sequence, Lindbergh actually committed himself too early as Bjugstad deked to his right and then moved left. Most goaltenders, even other NHL goalies of the time, would have little to no chance to recover once their momentum was taking them in the wrong direction.
Pelle Lindbergh, however, was not most NHL goalies. He was the best in the world at that time. Somehow, Lindbergh managed to recover and, with an acrobatic dive across the crease, knocked the shot to safety. Bjugstad, certain he had a goal, wore a stunned and crestfallen look on his face. The Flyers went on to win the game, 5-1.
Tim Kerr notched his 11th and 12th goals of the young season with a pair of power play goals and also assisted on a Peter Zezel even-strength goal to open the scoring.
