Farabee being scratched is undoubtedly big news, as the 24-year-old forward is expected to be one of the Flyers' top players. However, the 2018 first-round pick is having a tough season thus far, posting six goals, eight points, and a minus-14 rating in 42 games. He also has not recorded a point in five straight games.
