Despite skating just 7:41 Tuesday against Ottawa, Hayes snapped his nine-game goal drought, opening the scoring by knocking home a rebound for his sixth of the season. He'd collected a meager two assists over the last nine, and perhaps not coincidentally has seen his ice time take a hit over the last few games. But the trio of Hayes, Carl Hagelin and Jesper Fast was very noticeable in this one, especially in the first period.
