The Philadelphia Flyers penalty kill used to be one of the team’s worst assets. They spent almost every year at the bottom of the league in that stat. The unit lacked an aggressive style of play. That is until this season, however. Mike Yeo came in as an assistant coach, and one of his responsibilities involved the penalty kill. In his first season, he has completely changed the unit. And Kevin Hayes has helped prove that on the ice.
Hayes has the fourth most time among all Flyers on the penalty kill. His 105:59 time on ice is just behind Sean Couturier‘s 106:29.
