Flyers winger Joel Farabee was initially expected to miss the start of the season. He's now cleared for contact and could play the opener.
, as well as potentially winger Cam Atkinson, Farabee’s potential return is even more significant.
“I don’t know him that well,” Tortorella said. “But, again, I’ve watched him from afar, and I just watch how he carries himself. I think a little bit of that is he says, ‘I’m just going to get through it.’ And I think he plays hard. I think he just carries himself the right way. Really important guy for us.”“For me, it’s always kind of just been consistency,” Farabee said. “I feel like I’ll have good stretches, and then I’ll kind of go quiet for a while.
There are now three goalies and eight defensemen left in training camp. The top four defensemen are set with the other four competing for the fifth and sixth spots. But the goalie situation for the season opener is far from set, Tortorella said. Starter Carter Hart has been dealing with a lower-body injury, and now Felix Sandström is, too., but, at 22, he could benefit from having regular playing time in the AHL.
Ersson came into camp with two goals — to prove to himself that he’s healthy enough to play and to make a statement. He said he’s OK with spending some more time in the AHL, especially since he’s still adjusting to the North American game, but having made it to the final three, he’s not letting up. “It’s obviously fun that they like what they see,” Ersson said. “Trying to not overthink it, just go out there, take it day by day, and just work hard and kind of see where it goes.”Flyers roundtable: Analyzing the Cam York decision, the roster battles to watch ahead of opening night“We’re gonna give it more time,” Tortorella said. “What the goaltending situation ends up [being] on opening night, I still don’t know.
