Joel Farabee posts three points in Flames win over Kraken

Joel Farabee scored once and set up two more goals in Calgary's 6-2 win over Seattle on Friday, October 30. He managed just one shot in 15:18, with a hit, a block and a plus-one. The Flames won comfortably.

The three points are well above his recent averages of 0.45 a night, but the shot total and ice time match what he has been doing. His underlying play grades 53 out of 100 among forwards, a read on how sustainable his scoring is.

Joel Farabee

Farabee has averaged 0.22 goals and 0.23 assists a night in his recent sample, so Friday's goal and two assists are an outlier. The one shot in 15:18 is typical: he has averaged 1.8 shots a night and 17:02 of ice time. He plays 1:01 on the power play per game, 13th among all Calgary skaters, and picks up 0.05 power-play points a night alongside 0.8 hits and 0.6 blocks.

The process score of 53 out of 100 means his shot volume, scoring chances and ice time grade below average among forwards, which suggests the points will not come regularly. Calgary has four games left this week, on Friday, Saturday, Monday and Wednesday. Farabee is a hold for now, not a pickup or streaming target based on one big line.

What to do

• Hold Farabee in leagues where he is rostered and keep expectations modest given his underlying play.

• Do not stream Farabee based on one three-point game when the shots and minutes remain ordinary.

• Use Calgary's four remaining games this week to chase volume from better-graded Flames.
