Hayes missed the beginning of the 2021-22 regular season after undergoing abdominal surgery right before training camp. Once he returned to the lineup, he immediately was contributed to the scoresheet. In two games, he had a goal and an assist. Against the Flames, he memorably pointed to the sky after his goal in honor of his brother Jimmy Hayes who passed away this summer.

Hayes is the second player to re-injure himself from the Flyers this season. Of course, key defenseman Ryan Ellis also had a major setback in his return to the team and now is expected to be out four-to-six weeks himself.

Without these two important players, the Flyers have still been able to remain competitive, though. They currently have an 8-5-3 record and are fourth in the deep Metropolitan Division. Still, even with this, it's a major blow that Hayes will be out once again.
