The final year of Philadelphia’s right winger Garnet Hathway two-year contract (the two-year extension with a team-friendly $25,000 raise kicks in this season) had some highs and lows. One upside is that he wasn’t quite the unhinged bull in the china shop that he was in 2023-24, with only 58 minutes in penalties compared to 132 the year before. He also had his second-best season in his career points-wise with 21. It’s conceivable he could’ve eclipsed his career-high of 26 points had he remained healthy. Unfortunately, the huge fly in the ointment was a head injury, namely a concussion on a reckless hit by Pittsburgh Penguins forward Bokondji Imama, a borderline fourth-line enforcer who has made a living being a “tough guy.
