Joel Farabee Cleared For Contact
2 years agoPhiladelphia Flyers forward Joel Farabee (neck) has been fully cleared for contact and looks set to be in the lineup on Oct. 13 when the team opens its season against New Jersey. Farabee had disc-replacement surgery in his cervical region back in June and missed the preseason. The 22-year-old mostly struggled in 2021-22, but he's shown plenty of upside and has registered 93 points in 170 career games. Farabee will be a very welcome addition for the Flyers, with Sean Couturier (back) out for a minimum of six weeks. Cam Atkinson (upper body) has also missed practice time this week but should be ready for the season opener.
