Hayton scored a goal on two shots and added two PIM in Monday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

Hayton has two goals over seven contests since the Olympic break. The 25-year-old center is up to nine goals, 23 points, 108 shots on net and 48 PIM through 59 appearances. He had a career-best 46 points last season, but Hayton has received fewer top-six chances in 2025-26, which has played a large role in his reduced output.

Hayton scored a power-play goal on three shots in Friday's 5-2 win over the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

Hayton ended a five-game goal drought with his tally at 1:19 of the third period. He had points in six of the Mammoth's seven contests before the Olympic break before being held scoreless when play resumed Wednesday versus the Avalanche. The 25-year-old is up to eight goals, 22 points (six on the power play), 102 shots on net, 25 hits, 44 PIM and a plus-8 rating through 54 appearances this season.

Hayton scored an empty-net goal on two shots and added two PIM in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

Hayton's empty-netter with 56 seconds left ended up being valuable insurance, as Carter Verhaeghe scored for the Panthers after that. As a result, Hayton got his first game-winning tally this season after seven of his 20 goals last year secured victories for Utah. Hayton has five points over his past seven outings, but he's at just seven goals, 17 points, 86 shots, 36 PIM and a plus-4 rating through 48 appearances in 2025-26.

Hayton scored a power-play goal and added an even-strength assist in Saturday's 5-2 win over Nashville.

EDGE Analysis

Both points came in the third period as the Mammoth pulled away. It was Hayton's first multi-point performance since Jan. 1, and over the last 18 games, he's produced three goals and 11 points while helping to fill the hole in the top six created by the absence of Logan Cooley (lower body).

Hayton scored a power-play goal on two shots and added two PIM in Wednesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

Hayton has tallied in consecutive contests after going 13 games without a goal. The 25-year-old center is still in a top-six role with power-play time, which should allow him to get his offense back on track. For the season, he's earned 15 points (four on the power play), 73 shots on net, 22 blocked shots, 34 PIM and a plus-4 rating across 45 appearances.

Hayton scored an empty-net goal on two shots in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Kraken.

EDGE Analysis

Hayton ended a month-long goal drought, a span in which he still chipped in six assists and a plus-7 rating over 13 games. The 25-year-old has mostly played in a middle-six role lately, as he hasn't been consistent enough to bump Nick Schmaltz from the top-line center job. Hayton is now at five goals, 14 points, 71 shots on net, 32 PIM, 22 blocked shots, 15 hits and a plus-4 rating across 44 outings.

Hayton registered two assists and went plus-3 in Thursday's 7-2 win over the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

Hayton was one of six Mammoth skaters to earn multiple points. He set up Dylan Guenther's first two goals of the game. This was Hayton's first multi-point effort all season, and it could spark his offense in the second half. The center has four goals, seven helpers, 60 shots on net, 26 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 36 appearances in a middle-six role. He's shooting just 6.7 percent thus far -- a little positive regression should be in order, though he could also do better than 1.67 shots per game, as he's often been closer to two per contest in recent years.

Hayton scored a power-play goal in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Bruins.

EDGE Analysis

Hayton's tally opened the scoring at 8:34 of the first period, but it was all the Mammoth could muster against Jeremy Swayman. The 25-year-old has two points over his last two games after going six contests without one and getting scratched twice in that span. The center has struggled this year despite regularly seeing top-six minutes, earning seven points, 50 shots on net, 20 PIM, 11 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating over 30 appearances.

Hayton (undisclosed) was serving as a healthy scratch against Anaheim on Wednesday, per NHL.com.

EDGE Analysis

The reason for Hayton's absence wasn't immediately clear prior to puck drop, but it seems the 25-year-old center was perfectly healthy and being held out as a healthy scratch. Considering the Mammoth came away with a 7-0 victory over the Ducks, Hayton could face an uphill battle getting back into the lineup versus Vancouver on Friday.

Hayton will not be in the lineup against Anaheim on Wednesday, Cole Bagley of KSL Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

The reason behind Hayton's absence was immediately available, though it's possible he is serving as a healthy scratch, considering he has just one point in his last 15 outings. Regardless, with the 25-year-old center out of the lineup, Daniil But is expected to make his NHL debut versus the Ducks.
