The Flyers have placed Joel Farabee (upper-body) on IR; he is expected to miss four weeks.

Farabee suffered an upper-body injury on Thursday and is expected to miss at least one month. James van Riemsdyk or Oskar Lindblom are expected to replace him on the top line and Wade Allison was called up from Lehigh Valley (AHL) to take his spot on the roster.

Farabee is week-to-week with an upper-body injury.

Farabee left in the first period Thursday's game in New York due to an upper-body injury and did not return. The Flyers announced Friday that Farabee is expected to miss at least a couple of weeks. Max Willman will likely remain with the Flyers while Farabee is out.

Farabee will draw into the Flyers lineup on Thursday.

Michael Raffl was hurt in the third period of the Flyers' win over the Bruins on Saturday, opening the door for Farabee to play against the Capitals on Thursday. There's no indication what line Farabee will play on but he comes in having picked up 21 points (8G / 13A) in 52 games.

The Flyers have recalled Joel Farabee from Lehigh Valley (AHL).

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.

The Flyers have sent Joel Farabee to Lehigh Valley (AHL).

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.
