Daily News | Tyson Foerster scores his first NHL goal, but the Flyers fall 5-4 to the Carolina Hurricanes in overtime
Winger Scott Laughton was called for holding with just seven seconds remaining in regulation and the Flyers up, 4-3. With .3 seconds left on the clock, Hurricanes forward Martin Nečas tied the game. Sebastian Aho completed the hat trick just 28 seconds into overtime to earn the Hurricanes the victory.
Foerster picked up the first goal of his NHL career in just his fifth game. Farabee scored his second goal in two nights to tie the game in the third period, 3-3, after previously failing to find the back of the net for 26 games.Tyson Foerster has impressed the Flyers and coach John Tortorella in a short period of timeOn Friday night, Foerster collected his first NHL point on his assist of Farabee’s goal, which occurred shortly after Foerster fired wide of the net on a 2-on-1.
Not only did Foerster pick up his first NHL goal, but he also had his first multipoint night in the big leagues. He collected a primary assist on the Flyers’ third-period, power-play goal. Foerster finished with two points and three shots on goal.The Flyers debuted a new-look top power-play unit on Friday, featuring two defensemen — Cam York and Tony DeAngelo — and three forwards — Foerster, winger Owen Tippett, and Cates at center.
Eleven seconds into the 5-on-3 with the Flyers down, 3-1, thanks to Aho’s second goal of the night four minutes earlier, Foerster fired a one-timer from the top of the right circle on goal. Anderson denied him with his right pad, but he couldn’t control the rebound. Cates collected the loose puck and scored, cutting the Hurricanes’ lead again, 3-2.
Nearly two minutes later, winger Wade Allison failed to clear the puck from the Flyers’ zone along the boards, turning the puck over to Hurricanes defenseman Brady Skjei. He fired a wrist shot from the top of the right circle through traffic and past Sandström, who was likely screened, and the Flyers went into the first intermission in a 2-0 hole. Despite digging themselves in a hole in the first, the Flyers were resilient and clawed their way back, but fell quickly in overtime.
