Philadelphia Flyers Forward Fate May Have Been Decided
In a surprising turn of events, the Philadelphia Flyers are making significant lineup decisions ahead of their final preseason game. The notable change sees Tyson Foerster skating alongside Sean Couturier and Joel Farabee, hinting at a potential regular-season combination.
However, the fate of Bobby Brink appears to be different. Brink, who has been in contention for a roster spot, is notably absent from the lineup for the crucial preseason game. This decision suggests that Brink may not be part of the team's immediate plans.
O'Connor writes on X that Foerster is skating on a line at today's practice alongside Flyers number-one center Sean Couturier and established top-six contributor Joel Farabee, while Brink «looks like an extra.» This could indicate that Foerster is ticketed for top-line NHL duty to start the season while Brink gets sent back to AHL Lehigh Valley, though it's obviously not a sure thing. Anything can happen still at this stage of the preseason, though this development does suggest that Flyers fans should expect to see Foerster wearing the orange and black on opening night next week.
