\"Flyers\u2019<\/p>\n

An important player will be back in the lineup for the orange and white.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Philadelphia Flyers\u00a0\u00a0announced that the team has activated forward\u00a0Tyson Foerster\u00a0from injured reserve, who is set to be in the lineup when the team takes on the\u00a0Edmonton Oilers\u00a0on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

In response, the team is sending fellow skater\u00a0Carl Grundstrom down to its American Hockey League affiliate, the Lehigh Valley Phantoms.<\/p>\n

Foerster has been out of action since suffering a lower-body injury against the\u00a0Toronto Maple Leafs\u00a0on Nov. 1. The 23-year-old blocked a shot from Leafs defenseman Morgan Rielly in the first period. He ended up returning to the game to score a late goal in the third period of a 5-2 win for the Flyers.<\/p>\n

Through 11 appearances this year, Foerster has collected four goals and seven points. He has a plus\/minus of +5 while averaging 18:18 of ice time.<\/p>\n

The Alliston, Ont. native entered the 2025-26 campaign after having the best individual performance of his young NHL career. In 81 games, he set career highs in goals (25), assists (18) and points (43). However, Philadelphia missed the Stanley Cup Playoffs, finishing tied for the worst record in the Eastern Conference with the\u00a0Boston Bruins.<\/p>\n

In 177 regular-season games, Foerster has potted 52 goals and 38 assists for 90 points.<\/p>\n

Grundstrom played in just one game during Foerster\u2019s absence. He was in the lineup during Philly\u2019s 3-2 overtime loss against the\u00a0Ottawa Senators\u00a0on Nov. 8. Grundstrom registered 10:17 of ice time across 15 shifts, blocking a shot while delivering two hits.<\/p>\n

Puck drop between the Flyers (8-5-2) and Oilers is set for 7:30 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n

The Grand Rapids Griffins continued their early-season surge on Wednesday afternoon with a thrilling 3\u20132 overtime victory against the Toronto Marlies and returning Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Joseph Woll.<\/p>\n

Grand Rapids came out strong and struck first thanks to the red-hot Sheldon Dries. The veteran forward capitalized on a breakout pass from Austin Watson, breaking free through the neutral zone before cutting across the crease and lifting a backhand shot over Woll\u2019s glove for a 1\u20130 lead.<\/p>\n

Toronto nearly tied the game early in the second period on a power play. A mishandled shot from the slot deflected toward the Griffins\u2019 net, but defenseman Justin Holl alertly swept the loose puck off the goal line before William Wallinder cleared it safely out of the zone.<\/p>\n

Moments later, the Marlies found a fortunate bounce when Ryan Tverberg\u2019s low shot deflected off Holl\u2019s skate and slipped past goaltender Carter Gylander to even the score. Toronto then grabbed the lead shorthanded as Jacob Quillan broke behind the defense and faked a move across the crease before tucking the puck past a sprawling Gylander for a 2\u20131 advantage.<\/p>\n

Grand Rapids responded later in the period. Amadeus Lombardi, still searching for his first goal of the season but producing more than an assist per game, carried the puck into the slot and fired a shot that Woll stopped. The rebound popped out to Austin Watson, who buried it to tie the game at 2\u20132.<\/p>\n

Neither team could find the go-ahead goal in the third period, sending the contest to overtime. In the extra frame, Lombardi made the most of his next opportunity. After a Marlies turnover left him alone on a breakaway, the 22-year-old forward skated in and slipped a low shot through Woll\u2019s pads for the game-winner and his first goal of the season.<\/p>\n

The victory extended the Griffins\u2019 season-opening point streak to ten games, improving to 9-0-0-1 on the campaign. Grand Rapids will look to complete the sweep when they host Toronto again on Friday. The Marlies are expected to start a different goaltender, which could provide another favorable matchup for the red-hot Griffins.
