With John Klingberg dealing with a lower-body injury, Hanley was called up to travel as an extra defenseman to Los Angeles. Hanley has two points in eight NHL games and six assists in 18 AHL games this season.
Nylander has been a healthy scratch for the last three days but will replace Matthew Highmore tonight vs. the Flames. Nylander had a decent start to the season, posting nine points (4G / 5A) in his first 18 games but has just five points (1G / 4A) in his last 21 games.
Nylander has been held pointless in his last four games and played a season-low 7:19 TOI on Sunday. He will be replaced by Dylan Sikura in Chicago.
Okhotyuk, 19, was a second-round pick (No.61 overall) in this summer's draft and hast picked up five assists in 10 games with the Ottawa 67's (OHL).
Farabee was suspended for his "interference" on Perreault in the blowout loss. Perreault is out with a concussion and Farabee will miss the next three contests. This is a poorly timed suspension for the Flyers, who were without Travis Konecny, Oskar Lindblom, Tyler Pitlick, Scott Laughton, Michael Raffl and Nolan Patrick on Sunday.
Bahl was a second-round pick (No.55 overall) in 2018 and is in his fourth OHL season. The 19-year-old defenseman has 20 points (5G / 15A) in 28 games with the Ottawa 67’s and is currently in camp for Canada’s World Juniors team.
Huberdeau missed Friday's practice but head coach Joel Quenneville said that he should be good to play vs. the Predators. Huberdeau enters the weekend with five goals and 13 assists (18 points) in his last 13 games.
Hunt appeared in all 20 games this season, picking up just four assists and 32 shots while playing 10:47 ATOI. He goes back to Springfield, where he dominated last season, posting 44 points (23G / 21A) in 51 games.
Frost, who has picked No.27 overall in 2017, is one of the Flyers' top prospects and has registered 12 points (5G / 7A) in his first 16 career AHL games. Frost takes Carsen Twarynski's spot on the roster and should make his NHL debut in Florida on Tuesday.
Strome missed Saturday's practice but head coach David Quinn is expecting Strome to play on Sunday. Strome has played well as of late, scoring two goals with four assists (six points) in his last six games.
Hanley recorded one assist in two games with the Stars earlier in October before returning to Texas. He was held pointless in two AHL games but returns to the Stars where he will likely serve as an extra defenseman on Thursday.
Farabee was one of the final cuts in training camp and one of the Flyers’ best prospects. After scoring just 15 goals in six games (2.50 GF/gm) the Flyers are looking to inject some offence into their lineup. Farabee was a first-round pick (No.14 overall) in 2018 and has registered three goals and one assist in his first four AHL games. The 19-year-old is expected to make his debut on the third line (with Kevin Hayes and Scott Laughton) and the first power-play unit.
Nylander was a healthy scratch on Saturday but will replace Brendan Perlini on Monday. Nylander who has one goal on two shots in two games will re-enter the lineup on the fourth line with Ryan Carpenter and Zack Smith.
With Roman Polak out long-term, the Stars had to dig into their farm system over the last 24 hours. Hanley failed to register a point in 16 NHL games last year but had 28 points (8G / 20A) in 60 AHL contests.
Middleton was set to start the season in the AHL but an injury to Dalton Prout has opened up a roster spot for Middleton to be recalled. He had one assist in three NHL games last season and added 19 points (5G / 14A) in 57 AHL contests.
Backlund has been dealing with a lower-body injury since the late stages of the preseason but is ready to go in Colorado. Backlund, who will centre the second line with familiar linemates (Tkachuk and Frolik) had 21 goals and 26 assists (47 points) last season.
Farabee, who was a first-round pick (No.14 overall) in 2018 nearly made the Flyers opening night roster but the last second return of Tyler Pitlick has pushed him to the AHL to begin the year. The 19-year-old had 17 goals and 19 assists (36 points) in 37 games at Boston University last season.
