EDGE Analysis

Hayes hasn't done much since he was a healthy scratch Dec. 17 versus the Rangers. He's picked up three assists over his last six games, and his last goal came Dec. 7 against the Capitals. The 30-year-old has also seen a reduced role, playing mainly on the third line, which partly explains his scoring slump. Hayes has nine tallies, 23 helpers, 100 shots on net and a minus-11 rating through 37 contests, but he'll have to make a significant improvement in his overall play to regain the trust of head coach John Tortorella.

Hayes has been one of the Flyers' most consistent forwards with nine goals, 20 helpers, 89 shots on net and a minus-12 rating in 30 contests, and he's often seen top-line usage.
