The Philadelphia Flyers announced that they have recalled forward Joel Farabee from the Lehigh Valley Phantoms. Farabee will fill in for James van Riemsdyk, who broke his hand in last night’s Flyers 5-2 win over the Washington Capitals to win seven straight games.

Farabee has played forty-nine games this year for the Flyers tallying seven goals and thirteen assists on seventy-four shots. This season for the Phantoms, Farabee has only played five games with three goals and one assist on thirteen shots.

What a goal for Joel Farabee. His first professional goal with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms in the AHL. Can’t imagine it’ll be very long before he’s scoring goals like this in the NHL. pic.twitter.com/7dx6kGNNf5 — Tri-State Hockey (@TriState_Hockey) October 12, 2019

The Phantoms will be back in action tomorrow night against the Bridgeport Sound Tigers at 7:05 pm from the PPL Center.
