Daily News | Kevin Hayes, Flyers leaders rise to the occasion to help snap the team’s 10-game skid
— have been out injured watching the game from afar. Plenty more — the Kevin Hayeses and the Travis Sanheims — have been healthy and active this season. Tortorella had repeatedly said he needed more from all of his players throughout the losing streak. But on a young, inexperienced roster, particularly up front, the Flyers needed leadership from its veteran players to put an end to the suffering.
The Flyers needed a big play. Sanheim answered the call, scoring a shorthanded goal off the rush to tie the game, 1-1. Hayes, who is averaging over a point per game and has been shifted to the wing, continued to contribute offensively. After center Lukáš Sedlák won an offensive-zone face-off, Hayes’ fired the puck top-shelf on Islanders goaltender Ilya Sorokin to pull the Flyers up, 2-1, halfway through the first period.
