Farrance was promoted to the active roster Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Farrance has been on the taxi squad since signing his entry-level contract with the Predators on March 28. The 21-year-old was an offensive force on Boston University's blue line over the last two seasons, posting 59 points across 45 games. He's eligible to make his NHL debut in Thursday's game against the Red Wings, though he may just be pregame injury insurance.

Farrance signed a two-year, entry-level contract with the Predators on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Farrance was outstanding over his final two seasons at Boston University, posting 19 goals and 59 points over 45 games. He's a top-10 finalist for the Hobey Baker Award for a second straight season. It appears the 21-year-old blueliner could get a chance with the big club. The Predators could use the help since Mark Borowiecki (upper body), Matt Benning (upper body) and Ryan Ellis (lower body) are all dealing with injuries.

Farrance will return to Boston University for his senior season in college, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Farrance exploded in his junior campaign at BU, racking up 14 goals and 29 assists to earn him a Hobey Baker finalist nod awarded to the best player in college hockey. The Predators spent a third-round pick on him during the 2017 NHL Draft and will likely acquire his services on an entry-level deal when he finishes out his college action next season.

Farrance posted a goal and two assists in Boston University's 5-4 double overtime win over Boston College in the semifinals of the Beanpot Tournament on Monday in Boston.
EDGE Analysis
For record-keeping purposes, the game will go into the books as a tie and none of the statistics accumulated in the second overtime period will count. Yet that doesn't impact Farrance in the least as all three of his points came in regulation. Farrance has been maddeningly inconsistent throughout the course of his first three collegiate seasons, but the light bulb has finally gone off in his junior campaign. He currently leads all NCAA defenders in goals scored with 12 and his 32 points have him tied with St. Louis prospect and Minnesota-Duluth defenseman Scott Perunovich for most among collegiate rearguards. A third round pick (92nd overall) of Nashville in 2017, expect the Predators to make a major run at attempting to sign Farrance as soon as BU's season concludes.
