The Flyers completed a two-game sweep of the New York Islanders this past weekend, getting some highly-sought revenge after postseason heartbreak. It’s only fitting that the chapter was kicked off by a grand performance by one of the teams’ youngest stars in the making, Joel Farabee.
A first-round pick back in 2018, Joel Farabee posted 8 goals and 13 goals as a rookie through 52 games. He has 8 points through 10 games in 2021 after a huge breakout against the Isles.
On Sunday night, Farabee became the third Flyer in franchise history to record a regular-season hat trick before his 21st birthday, joining Mike Richards and Eric Lindros, who did so four times.
