On the eve of training camps opening, the Philadelphia Flyers announced several injury updates.

Second line centerman Kevin Hayes had abdominal surgery today and will miss six-to-eight weeks to recovery. In 55 games last season, Hayes had 31 points (12 G, 19 A), 22 penalty minutes and, was a -2.

Defenceman Samuel Morin had surgery on his right knee to remove loose bodies on September 10th and will be out six-to-eight weeks. The Lac-Beauport, Quebec native played in 20 games for the Flyers during the 2020-21 season where he had one goal, 37 penalty minutes, and was a -7.

Rookie forward Wade Allison is out indefinitely after spraining his right ankle. The 23-year-old was drafted by the Flyers in 2016 and played in 14 games with them last season where he tallied seven points (4 G, 3 A), four penalty minutes, and was a +1.

Lastly, prospect Zayde Wisdom will be out indefinitely after having shoulder surgery. Wisdom was drafted by Philadelphia in the second round of the 2020 draft.
