Joel Farabee
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.

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.
