As wild and out there it might seem, the Philadelphia Flyers are getting healthier.
Joel Farabee is making his return to the lineup on Saturday against the Washington Capitals, goaltender Carter Hart will be going back in between the pipes after recovering from a sty in his eye (ew, gross); Derick Brassard is trying to recover from a nagging hip injury and is possibly coming back soon enough, and the Flyers might finally be getting Kevin Hayes back in the fold as soon as next week.
The 29-year-old center is slowly recovering from abdominal issues that he had to undergo surgery for in the off-season — delaying the start of his season — and just recently had hip surgery in January, the third procedure done on his midsection since the end of last season.
