The Philadelphia Flyers scratched Keith Yandle, ending the longest consecutive games played streak in NHL history at 989.
The Flyers finally decided to sit him in favor of the newly-signed Attard, prioritizing the correct hockey decision over the preference of the players on the team looking out for their friend. The development of a top prospect should supersede a streak for a veteran player in his first year with the organization. Benching a struggling 35-year-old in a lost season in favor of a younger and more able player was never meant to be disrespectful. As a left-handed blueliner who is also best utilized with opportunities on the power play, he has been blocked from playing time by the organization’s perceived obligation to keep Yandle in the lineup. The Flyers occupy the last-place spot in the Metropolitan Division, and they will miss the playoffs in consecutive seasons for the first time since 1992-93 and 1993-94. Yandle’s spot in the lineup for the first 67 games of 2021-22 didn’t come based on merit as a useful hockey player.

I’m not really a guy that reflects too much. Arizona’s Phil Kessel has gone to great lengths to keep his own streak intact and passed Jarvis last week. “We want to make sure that we keep building for the future here, and if that means get some young guys in here, then that's what we have to do.” But there is no guarantee he’ll be signed in the summer. Perhaps allowing Yandle to occupy shifts he may deserve on reputation but not merit could increase the Flyers’ lottery odds. “It’s important that we get some young players in,” Yeo told reporters following morning skate.

"In all honesty, I don't even really want to get into the speculation of that until we do or if we do make that decision," Yeo said. "We haven't made a decision on the lineup yet for tomorrow," Flyers interim head coach Mike Yeo said after Friday's practice. He's 11 games away from playing in 1,000 straight, a remarkable feat yet to be accomplished in the NHL. Attard will become the third Flyer to make his NHL debut in the last 10 days. So we'll make a determination on the lineup tomorrow." With their 2021-22 season lost, the Flyers are in full evaluation mode.

I owe everything I have to this league. “I did a little bit of talking last night with my wife, my brother, my parents,” Yandle said. ”It’s tough to have a bad day in the NHL,” Yandle told reporters following the Flyers’ morning skate. “We’re at the point in the season where as an organization it’s important we get young players in,” interim coach Mike Yeo said. “Obviously, getting the news that you’re not playing is not what you want to hear. After being struck in the face, a hunched-over Yandle skated to the door closest to the locker room leaving a trail of blood and teeth on the ice. Obviously it’s something I take a lot of pride in. “We have had some great memories together here since he started playing here. Once you’re on the ice, you feel like a kid again. The streak almost came to an end in 2018 when Yandle took a shot off the face at PNC Arena in a game against the Hurricanes. I am fortunate to have played one game in this league and I say that all the time.
