Daily News | Flyers forward Kevin Hayes ‘wasn’t happy’ with benching, but ‘it’s not my decision’
When forward Kevin Hayes walked into the locker room on Saturday morning ahead of the Flyers’ game against the New York Rangers, he noticed that his name was not in the lineup, indicating that he would be a healthy scratch that night.
Hayes is the Flyers’ leading scorer this season with 29 points . However, while Tortorella has praised Hayes’ ability to create offense on a Flyers team that ranks 30th in the league in goals per game ,. Recently, Hayes’ most glaring blunder came against the Devils in the second period when he committed a turnover at the offensive blue line to spring an odd-man rush by New Jersey.
While Tortorella acknowledged the public perception that Hayes was scratched because of the turnover, Tortorella said in general that he would never scratch a player because of one mistake. Tortorella declined to go into the exact reasoning behind his decision, but he said that “there is no disconnect” between him and Hayes regarding their communication on this topic.
