Hayes was reassigned to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Hayes has been a healthy scratch for the Penguins' last two games, so the move to the minors shouldn't come as a surprise. It's possible the young winger could suit up for the Baby Pens versus AHL Belleville on Friday before being brought back up from the minors ahead of Saturday's clash with Winnipeg.
