Coach Rick Tocchet affirmed confidence in Foerster, who has no points and seven shots in five playoff games against the Penguins, as the Flyers lead the series 3-2 heading into Game 6 in Philadelphia.
Foerster, returning from arm surgery, remains a key defensive forward and penalty killer, while other top Flyers scorers have also struggled offensively, combining for just three goals in the series.
After conceding seven goals in their last two losses, the Flyers aim to close out the series at home, with lineup decisions—including Matvei Michkov’s possible return—under consideration as they seek more offensive production.
