Joel Farabee

The Flyers got the first goal of the game again and Giroux and van Riemsdyk finally got on the board as the Flyers picked up a 4-1 win over the Blackhawks.

A four-goal second matched the production from the previous two games for the Flyers, ironically in a period that Alain Vigneault called the team’s worst of the last eight. Observations from the Flyers win over the Golden Knights.

Monday’s game provides another chance to right the ship, and there will be two new faces in the lineup trying to provide a spark. 19-year-old Joel Farabee makes his NHL debut and Mikhail Vorobyev joins the lineup as well in a tough test for the Flyers against the Vegas Golden Knights.

On this week’s episode of YWT: A Philadelphia Flyers Podcast, host Kyle Collington and guest Kevin Durso discuss the Flyers stuggles, Travis Konecny’s hot start, Joel Farabee’s call-up and more.

Joel Farabee was called up by the Flyers on Sunday along with forward Mikhail Vorobyev, while forward Carsen Twarynski was sent down to the Phantoms. Farabee’s NHL debut will likely come on Monday night when the Flyers host the Vegas Golden Knights.

With the new season comes storylines that are worth watching as the year progresses. Here are 10 that you should watch for in the 2019-20 Flyers season.

The Flyers final 23-man roster includes three injured players on the non-roster injured list — but not long-term injury list — and 20 active players. There are a total of 11 forwards and seven defensemen on the roster. To complete the final cuts, Joel Farabee and Phil Myers were sent down to the AHL.

There is one final tuneup for the Flyers in the preseason, and this one is a special exhibition. The Flyers will face one of Switzerland’s teams in Lausanne HC to close out the 2019 preseason on Monday afternoon.

Alain Vigneault asked for surprises during Flyers training camp. With three prospects about to make their NHL debut as the season opens, he finally got what he wanted to see.
