PHILADELPHIA — Before longtime Flyers captain Claude Giroux departed via trade to the Florida Panthers, he told 22-year-old winger Joel Farabee that he would break all of his records one day.
Those were strong words from Giroux, who is second all-time in franchise history in points (900) and first in power-play points (339) and overtime goals (11).
In Giroux’s absence, Farabee continued the uphill trek toward besting those marks on Sunday against the New York Islanders at the Wells Fargo Center. Farabee dazzled through three periods, factoring in on two of the Flyers’ goals in their 2-1 victory over the Islanders.
