Joel Farabee, Noah Cates and Owen Tippett are all under the age of 24, and will start the season on the third line together for the Flyers.
Flyers third-liners Noah Cates, Joel Farabee, and Owen Tippett will celebrate their birthdays within 20 days of each other in February, but Cates and Tippett will be ringing in 24 while Farabee will be turning 23. Despite his age, Farabee is the veteran of the line.
Cates, meanwhile, is on an opening-night NHL roster for the first time in his career. He joined the Flyers at the conclusion of his college season at the University of Minnesota Duluth and played 16 games. That said, he had the most impressive training camp of any Flyer, according to coach John Tortorella.
“He makes so many good plays,” Cates said. “I’ve just got to support him, get close to him, because I know he’ll give me that puck. ... Very excited for Joel and just his offseason and recovery. He was working hard, and he did really well with all that stuff.”“Any time you get a guy like that that’s young but has played a couple hundred games in the league, it goes a long way,” Tippett said. “Obviously, there are young guys coming in and out all the time.
The injury was not sustained in practice that day, Tortorella said. It’s been a nagging injury. Ristolainen also missed the season opener last year after being injured in the preseason. He is “day-to-day.”The Flyers’ Kevin Hayes is embracing John Tortorella’s challenge after the hardest year of his life
