Sandin was a 23-year-old undrafted free agent out of Sweden. The centre spent the last three years in the Swedish Elite League and is coming off of a year where he led HV71 Jonkoping in goals (19) and was second in points (36).
Barratt was a third-round pick in the 2017 draft and wrapped up his junior year at Penn State University tied for the team-lead in goals (12) and second in points (34) in 34 games. the 21-year-old centre had one goal in seven games while representing the USA in the 2019 World Juniors.
Petersen allowed three goals on 28 shots in the Kings win over the Wild last Saturday. Petersen is riding a three-game winning streak, posting a 1.67 GAA and .953 SV% in the process. Tonight he'll face a Senators team that played in Anaheim last night and have lost seven of their last eight road games (1-5-2) while scoring just 1.88 goals per game.
Seeler and Lucas Carlsson have been alternating games over the last month and Seeler will come out tonight vs. the Sharks after dressing for the last two games.
Wylie was selected in the fifth-round pick in 2018 and is second among WHL defensemen with 64 points (14G / 50A) in 62 games.
Petersen stopped 42 of the 43 shots that he faced in the Kings win in Vegas last Sunday. Petersen has been terrific in his last two starts, stopping 77 of the 79 shots (.975 SV%) that he's faced. Today he faces a Wild team that is 5-1-0 with 4.33 goals per game in their last six games.
Johansen missed Tuesday’s game in Minnesota with an illness but will be available tonight vs. the Stars. Johansen enters Thursday with just five points (2G / 3A) in his last 15 games.
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.
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.
Couturier's status for Sunday's game is up in the air so the Flyers recalled Joel Farabee from Lehigh Valley (AHL) as insurance. If Couturier can't play, Claude Giroux will move to centre and Farabee will draw into the lineup.
Seeler and Lucas Carlsson continue to rotate in and out of the lineup and tonight is Seeler's chance to sit. He played 13:56 TOI in St. Louis on Tuesday.
Simmonds was acquired from the Devils on Monday and will make his debut tonight in Colorado. Simmonds is expected to start on a line with Marcus Johansson and Jeff Skinner and should see some power-play time as well. He hasn't had the best year, posting just 24 points (8G / 16A) in 61 games but could see increased usage with the Sabres.
Seeler was a healthy scratch in Dallas on Sunday but will replace Lucas Carlsson in the lineup on Tuesday. Since joining the Blackhawks, Seeler has picked up one assist, one shot and seven PIMS in three games.
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.
