Coach Joel Quenneville was impressed with the play of Jimmy Hayes in his NHL debut Friday. Hayes was recalled from Rockford of the AHL and while he only played 8:23 minutes, he had a couple of shots on goal, hit the post with another shot, had one blocked shot and had four hits. "He had a great first shift and he still had presence," coach Joel Quenneville said Friday night. "He had good physicality, strength with the puck and he was dangerous around the net. He didn't play a ton but it was a good first game for him." Hayes had five goals and 18 points in 28 games with Rockford of the AHL this season so while he may be valuable with his hits and blocked shots, he does not have a lot of fantasy value in traditional pools.
