Hayes scored twice on six shots, added two hits and went plus-2 in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
Hayes got into the lineup for Noel Acciari (illness), and that ended up working out fine for the Penguins. Hayes scored on his first NHL shot at 9:18 of the first period, and he tallied again before the end of the opening frame, giving the Penguins a lead that they never relinquished. The 23-year-old has earned 23 points over 31 contests for AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, and he'll likely head back to the farm team in the coming days to continue playing during the NHL's Olympic break. That said, this likely isn't the last we've seen of Hayes at the NHL level.

Hayes was recalled from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Hayes could be in line to make his NHL debut against the Sabres on Thursday if Noel Acciari (illness) is unable to play. In 31 minor-league tilts with the Baby Pens, the 23-year-old winger has notched 13 goals and 10 helpers while also racking up 41 PIM. If Hayes does play Thursday, he will likely slot into a bottom-six role.

Hayes scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton's 6-2 win over Lehigh Valley on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Hayes has six points over his last four games. The 23-year-old didn't have a great start to the AHL campaign, which is reflected in his season totals of six goals and 12 points over 16 appearances. The winger will continue to compete with the Penguins' other young prospects for a chance at a call-up to Pittsburgh.

Hayes scored a pair of goals in AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton's 6-3 win over Hershey on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Hayes had a strong training camp but didn't make the Penguins' NHL roster. He's off to a decent start in the AHL this year, his third season in the league, racking up five goals and eight points over 13 appearances. He put up 23 goals and 19 helpers in 60 regular-season contests a year ago, which led to him signing a two-year, entry-level contract in March.
