The Philadelphia Flyers are set to make a significant adjustment to their roster for the upcoming match against the Anaheim Ducks, with Joel Farabee being a healthy scratch. This decision comes as a surprise, considering Farabee, only 24 years old, is viewed as a key player for the team. His performance this season has raised concerns, as he has struggled with just six goals and eight points, coupled with a minus-14 rating over 42 games. Notably, he hasn't scored in the last five games, prompting the coaching staff to reconsider his role.

Farabee's absence will also mark the end of his impressive streak of 216 consecutive games played for the Flyers, an accomplishment that highlights his resilience and dedication. Stepping into the lineup in Farabee's place is prospect Olle Lycksell, who has seen limited action with the Flyers this season but has been productive in the AHL, tallying nine goals and 24 points in 25 games with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms.
