Daily News | Flyers forward Kevin Hayes selected to 2023 NHL All-Star game
Kevin Hayes and John Tortorella haven’t always seen eye-to-eye this season, as the veteran forward has found himself in his coach’s doghouse and stapled to the bench on multiple occasions. With that as a backdrop, Hayes finding out he was being named an All-Star had to feel extra sweet for the veteran forward.
A 2010 first-round pick of the Chicago Blackhawks, Hayes, who also played for the New York Rangers and Winnipeg Jets, is in his fourth season with the Flyers. Hayes’ All-Star nod comes after an extremely challenging 2022 season in which the forward While Hayes has hovered around a point per game all season , his play has not come without controversy. He and Konecny, the team’s two leading scorers, were benched for the entire third period of the Flyers’ shutout loss to the San Jose Sharks on Oct. 23. Tortorella did not give a reason for the benchings insteadHayes was soon moved from center, the position he has played his entire career, to wing by Tortorella in a move that was viewed as a clear demotion.
Hayes was unhappy with the decision to scratch him on Dec. 17. “I don’t think anyone enjoys being scratched, so [I] wasn’t happy,” Hayes said the following day. “But it’s not my decision.”
