According to reports from Sam Carchidi of the Philadelphia Inquirer and later Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia, Kevin Hayes will be undergoing sports hernia surgery sometime in the next week. Hayes spoke briefly about needing a minor surgery during the Flyers exit interviews, but did not go into details about said injury.
The procedure allows for athletes to return to action after about six weeks.
