The Philadelphia Flyers being plagued by injuries typically isn’t a good thing. Sure, you can blame a lot of some misfortunes on missing key players like Sean Couturier, Kevin Hayes, and Ryan Ellis, but when all is said and done, it just stinks to not see your good players healthy enough to be on the ice. One of the few positives though, is seeing the depth players get their chances, especially when they have earned it through years of minor-league production.
Gerry Mayhew is a beacon of light, beaming positivity onto this current Flyers lineup. When the 29-year-old forward was signed to his deal last summer, it was simply just one of those transactions to bolster your AHL roster, and have someone with a high work ethic through training camp.
