Farabee reportedly lost a lot of weight while battling illness, so the Flyers will give him a few more days to build back up some strength. Scott Laughton moved into the Flyers' top-6 in Friday's practice to replace Farabee.
Farabee missed Wednesday's practice and will miss Thursday's game vs. the Devils. This is a tough break for Farabee, who had scored four goals with two assists and 12 shots in his last six games. Andy Andreoff was recalled from the AHL to take his place on the roster.
Prosvetov did not see any NHL playing time during his call-up and the demotion clears the way for Antti Raanta to return on Saturday. The 20-year-old former fourth-round pick has gone 11-3-0 with a 2.38 GAA and .931 SV% in 15 AHL games this season.
Farabee had to be sent down yesterday to make way for Alex Lyon to backup Brian Elliott. With Chris Stewart clearing waivers and being assigned to the Phantoms, Farabee comes back up and is expected to play vs. the Canadiens.
Carter Hart will miss 2-to-3 weeks with an abdominal strain and that affected their cap situation. Farabee had to be sent down in order to call-up Alex Lyon to serve as Brian Elliott's backup on Wednesday. Chris Stewart was also placed on waivers, so expect Farabee to be recalled tomorrow once Stewart is claimed or clears waivers (most likely).
With John Klingberg dealing with a lower-body injury, Hanley was called up to travel as an extra defenseman to Los Angeles. Hanley has two points in eight NHL games and six assists in 18 AHL games this season.
Prosvetov was a fourth-round pick in 2018 and has gone 11-3-0 with a 2.38 GAA and .931 SV% in his first season with Tucson. Prosvetov was called up because Antti Raanta was hurt on Saturday, so he'll serve as the No.2 option behind Adin Hill while Raanta and Darcy Kuemper are sidelined.
Olofsson had to be helped off of the ice on Thursday and it looked like he could miss a few weeks. The Sabres confirmed that it will be 5-to-6 weeks, which sidelines him until at least mid-February. This is a huge blow for the Sabres and Olofsson's rookie of the year chances. The 24-year-old is second on the team in goals (16) and points (35) this season.
Olofsson had to be helped down the tunnel after suffering a lower-body injury on the Sabres' game-tying goal. The Sabres quickly recalled Scott Wilson from Rochester on Friday morning, suggesting that Olofsson is going to miss some time. Expect the Sabres to release a more detailed injury update in the next 24 hours.
Maatta served as a healthy scratch in Columbus on Sunday but will replace Slater Koekkoek in Calgary on Tuesday night. Maatta has one goal and seven assists (eight points) in 35 games this season.
Okhotyuk, 19, was a second-round pick (No.61 overall) in this summer's draft and hast picked up five assists in 10 games with the Ottawa 67's (OHL).
Maatta will come out of the lineup on Sunday with Adam Boqvist returning from a one-game absence due to a shoulder injury.
Farabee was suspended for his "interference" on Perreault in the blowout loss. Perreault is out with a concussion and Farabee will miss the next three contests. This is a poorly timed suspension for the Flyers, who were without Travis Konecny, Oskar Lindblom, Tyler Pitlick, Scott Laughton, Michael Raffl and Nolan Patrick on Sunday.
Bahl was a second-round pick (No.55 overall) in 2018 and is in his fourth OHL season. The 19-year-old defenseman has 20 points (5G / 15A) in 28 games with the Ottawa 67’s and is currently in camp for Canada’s World Juniors team.
Maatta missed the last four games with an illness but will replace Calvin de Haan, who is on IR with a shoulder injury. Maatta has eight points (1G / 7A) while averaging 1.2 shots and 1.3 blocked shots in 27 games this season.
Maatta missed Wednesday's practice and is questionable to play Thursday in Boston. If Maatta can't play, look for Dennis Gilbert to draw into the Blackhawks lineup.
Huberdeau missed Friday's practice but head coach Joel Quenneville said that he should be good to play vs. the Predators. Huberdeau enters the weekend with five goals and 13 assists (18 points) in his last 13 games.
Hunt appeared in all 20 games this season, picking up just four assists and 32 shots while playing 10:47 ATOI. He goes back to Springfield, where he dominated last season, posting 44 points (23G / 21A) in 51 games.
