Flyers

Flyers forward Joel Farabee was cleared for contact after visiting with doctors on Thursday, making him a possibility to be in the lineup on opening night.

The Flyers made 10 more roster cuts on Wednesday, and defenseman Cam York was the headliner of the group.

The Flyers are set to close out the preseason on Tuesday night when they host the New York Islanders at 7 p.m.

The Flyers dropped their fourth straight preseason game on Sunday night, falling to the Islanders, 2-1.

John Tortorella will be on the Flyers bench for the first time as the preseason continues on Sunday night against the New York Islanders.

After taking a sizable shot advantage in the first period, the Flyers were out-shot, 24-13, for the remainder of the game and out-scored, 4-0, in their third straight defeat in the preseason against the Bruins.

The game group the Flyers will send on the road for their fourth preseason game against the Boston Bruins on Saturday afternoon offers a healthy mix of veteran players and young players locked in roster battles. Puck drop is at 1 p.m.

Flyers head coach John Tortorella addressed multiple topics on Friday, including the captaincy, young players, and goalies, while the team made more roster cuts.

Shades of last season were on display in a two-goal second period for the Washington Capitals, who never looked back, handing the Flyers a 3-1 loss at Wells Fargo Center.
