The Philadelphia Flyers’ 2022-23 season hasn’t exactly gone according to plan. The Flyers are 14-17-7, embarked on a 10-game losing streak and are currently one of the worst teams in the NHL. But despite their poor campaign, they still need to send a player to the 2023 NHL All-Star Game, and that player is officially set to be Kevin Hayes. This will be Hayes’ first-ever appearance at an All-Star Game in his decade-long NHL career.
The NHL announced the Eastern Conference representatives Thursday night during the Flyers’ tilt against the Arizona Coyotes, in which Hayes has already logged a goal and two assists through two periods.
