As if the Flyers needed more injury problems to deal with, the team announced Friday that forwards Kevin Hayes and Joel Farabee have been placed on injured reserve.
Hayes underwent a procedure Tuesday morning to drain fluid from his core area and missed each of the Flyers’ last two contests. He is expected to miss up to four weeks.
Farabee’s injury is new, however, and he is also expected to be out of commission for up to four weeks with an upper-body injury.
In the Flyers’ contest against the New York Islanders on Tuesday, Farabee took a big hit from Isles defenseman Noah Dobson along the boards.
