Since rookie forward Tyson Foerster went down with a lower-body injury against the Seattle Kraken on February 10, the Philadelphia Flyers have needed players to step up to replace him. The major one has been gritty 32-year-old winger Garnet Hathaway, who has seen himself on the third line over his past four games instead of his typical fourth-line role.
In that time, Hathaway is playing his best hockey all season long. Like, by far. It’s been a complete rejuvenation of his game. Even when Foerster is set to come back, which could be soon, the veteran should remain right where he is.
