The Hurricanes have reassigned Clark Bishop to Charlotte (AHL).

Bishop failed to record a point in his first seven career NHL games during his call-up, but returns to the AHL where he has five points (3G / 2A) in nine games. Bishop was returned to the AHL to create room so the Hurricanes could activate Victor Rask (hand) from IR.

The Flyers select Joel Farabee with the No.14 overall pick.

Farabee is known as a high-character 200-foot player. He served as the captain of the U.S. National U-18 team and scored 33 goals with 43 assists (76 points) in 62 games while playing on a line with Oliver Wahlstrom and projected 2019 No.1 overall pick Jack Hughes. Farabee creates offence with his great speed and compares favourably to Blues’ forward Brayden Schenn.

Backlund (undisclosed) will play on Tuesday.

Backlund missed Monday’s practice but he is good-to-go for tonight’s game vs. the Oilers. Backlund will have Sam Bennett on his wing tonight though because Mathew Tkachuk is day-to-day with an upper-body injury. Backlund has just one goal in his last five games.
