Wolf was picked in the seventh-round of the 2019 draft and has been an absolute stud ever since. The 19-year-old had another terrific season with Everett (WHL), tying for the league-lead in Wins (34) and leading the league in GAA (1.88), SV% (.936) and shutouts (9). Unsurprisingly, he was named the WHL's top goaltender of 2019-20 and appears to be on the fast-track to the NHL.
After picking up seven points (2G / 5A) in 35 AHL games, Whitecloud became a fixture on the Golden Knights' third pair before the NHL suspended the season. The 23-year-old defenseman has picked up just one assist in 16 NHL games while adding 10 hits and 16 blocked shots.
Farabee has scored three goals with one assist in five AHL games since being sent down on February 24th. With James van Riemsdyk suffering a broken hand last night, Farabee is expected to jump right back into the Flyers lineup on Thursday. He has picked up 20 points (7G / 13A) in 49 games with Philadelphia this season.
Middleton suffered a lower-body injury vs. the Penguins on Saturday and will miss at least a couple of weeks. Head coach Bob Boughner said that Middleton might be able to return before the end of the regular season.
Farabee has been summoned from the AHL because Sean Couturier is questionable to play Sunday afternoon due to illness. If Couturier can’t play, Farabee will draw into the lineup.
The Flyers added two forwards at the deadline (Derek Grant and Nate Thompson) so they'll send Farabee back to the AHL "for now." GM Chuck Fletcher said that he wants "to make sure we’re giving Joel all the ability to be the player he can become. He’s only 19. He’s been a big part of our team but he’s going to be an even bigger part of our future…I have no doubt he’ll be back with us and help us.” This move also keeps Farabee available for the AHL playoffs.
Frost appeared in the last two games, failing to record a point in 13:00 ATOI but will be scratched tonight with Joel Farabee returning from an illness. If he's going to sit, Frost will likely be sent back to Lehigh Valley (AHL).
Farabee missed the last three games with an illness but will replace Morgan Frost tonight vs. the Islanders. Farabee will be back on the second line with Kevin Hayes and Travis Konecny and has four goals with two assists in his last six games.
Nylander was a healthy scratch on Sunday but will replace Dylan Strome in the lineup on Tuesday. Nylander has just one goal and two assists (three points) in his last 15 games.
Farabee, who will miss his third straight game, skated in the morning skate on Monday but will get one more day off. Head coach Alain Vigneault expects him to be back in the lineup tomorrow against the Islanders.
Nylander has played in 11 straight games but Matthew Highmore will replace him in the lineup in Winnipeg. In those 11 games, Nylander had one goal and two assists.
With Joel Farabee sidelined with an illness, the Flyers are looking to Frost to inject some offence into their middle-6. Frost, who had seven points in 18 games with the Flyers earlier in the year, has tallied eight goals with 12 assists (20 points) in 30 AHL games this season.
Farabee reportedly lost a lot of weight while battling illness, so the Flyers will give him a few more days to build back up some strength. Scott Laughton moved into the Flyers' top-6 in Friday's practice to replace Farabee.
Farabee missed Wednesday's practice and will miss Thursday's game vs. the Devils. This is a tough break for Farabee, who had scored four goals with two assists and 12 shots in his last six games. Andy Andreoff was recalled from the AHL to take his place on the roster.
Farabee had to be sent down yesterday to make way for Alex Lyon to backup Brian Elliott. With Chris Stewart clearing waivers and being assigned to the Phantoms, Farabee comes back up and is expected to play vs. the Canadiens.
Carter Hart will miss 2-to-3 weeks with an abdominal strain and that affected their cap situation. Farabee had to be sent down in order to call-up Alex Lyon to serve as Brian Elliott's backup on Wednesday. Chris Stewart was also placed on waivers, so expect Farabee to be recalled tomorrow once Stewart is claimed or clears waivers (most likely).
