Hayes (shoulder) was placed on the Rangers' non-roster injury list Thursday, Andrew Gross of the Bergen Record reports. Hayes will be able to come off the list at anytime. Based on his participation in practice Thursday, the Rangers seem optimistic his activation will come as early as Friday, when he's expected to receive full medical clearance to return to game action. Once healthy, the 6-foot-5 forward is expected to slot in on the third or fourth line.
