The NHL announced Monday that Flyers center Kevin Hayes is a finalist for the 2021-22 Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy, which is awarded “to the player who best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship, and dedication to hockey.”
Hayes, 30, was selected by the local chapter of the Professional Hockey Writers Association as the Flyers’ nominee and is one of the three leading vote-getters among all 32 Masterton candidates in the NHL. The hockey writers vote on the winner. Before the start of the season, Hayes continued to have injury problems and required abdominal surgery on Sept. 21. He made his season debut on Nov. 13 against the Dallas Stars and scored his first NHL goal of the season the following game against the Calgary Flames on Nov. 16,However, Hayes was knocked out of the lineup after two games because of injury and tried to return again on Dec. 1 against the New York Rangers.
“To return from both the physical and emotional challenges he faced this season speaks volumes about his character as a person, but also his commitment to our club and to his teammates,” general manager Chuck Fletcher said via release last month. “Kevin not only fought through many issues during the year, he performed at a high level and was one of our best players each time he was in the lineup.”
