Hayes scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

Hayes failed to post a point in six straight games, but he quenched the drought with the opening tally just 3:28 into the first period. The 27-year-old would need a point-per-game pace for the rest of the season to match last year's career high of 55 points, but his drop in production this year can be partly attributed to a lack of opportunities, as he's started just 45.0 percent of shifts in the offensive zone.

Hayes has zero points with a minus-2 rating and six PIM in the last five games.

EDGE Analysis

He had three goals and five points in the three games prior to this little slump, but Hayes has suddenly gone cold. This is just the second time this season he's gone five consecutive games without a point, as that last happened to Hayes in November. He has 17 goals and 32 points with a minus-12 rating and 28 PIM in 58 games this season.

Hayes tallied a shorthanded goal in Monday's 3-0 win over the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

Hayes turned a potentially dangerous moment into an insurance tally, scoring at 2:47 of the third period to stretch the lead to 2-0. The 27-year-old has five points over his last three games. He's up to 32 points in 53 contests this season -- seven have come on the power play and another four as a penalty-killer.

Hayes scored two goals and added an assist in a 6-3 win over Colorado on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

He notched a goal shorthanded and another on the power play. The assist came at even strength. Hayes' last multi-goal/point effort came back on Dec. 23 and he had just six points in his previous 14 games. But he's still on track for a standard Hayes season -- high 40s in points with strong penalty killing and a bit of production on the power play.

Hayes posted four shots on net but a minus-1 rating and two PIM in a 4-1 loss to the Canadiens on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

It's largely the same old story for the 27-year-old -- lots of shots but not a lot of scoring and a poor plus/minus. In the last 11 games, Hayes has three goals and 27 shots with a minus-11 rating. The good news is he's been scoring more over the last month -- six goals in the last 13 games -- but he's remained a liability in the plus/minus. Hayes has 14 goals and 26 points with a career-worst minus-15 rating and 122 shots on net in 48 games this season.

Hayes scored a shorthanded goal on four shots and added two hits in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

Hayes picked off a pass at the blue line and zoomed up the ice to tally the Flyers' go-ahead goal at 17:59 of the second period. Carter Hart made that stand, which gave Hayes his fourth game-winner of the season. He's up to 13 tallies and 25 points overall in 44 games in a second-line role.

Hayes posted an assist and a minus-1 rating with two hits and a block in a 5-4 loss to the Hurricanes on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old has been a minus-player far too often over the last four weeks, but he's scoring more than he did in the first part of the season. He has four goals and nine points with a minus-6 rating in the last 13 games. Overall, Hayes has 12 goals and 24 points in 43 games, which gives him a chance to reach new career bests in both goals and points. However, he also has a career-worst minus-9 rating.

Hayes scored the overtime goal in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

Hayes converted on a feed from Jakub Voracek for the tally 3:53 into the extra period. The 27-year-old center has been hot lately, with four goals and four assists in his last seven games. Hayes has 12 goals, 11 assists, 103 shots on goal and 50 hits through 39 contests.

Hayes scored two goals in a 5-1 win over the Rangers on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Hayes tickled twine twice in the third period and now has 11 goals and 22 points this season, in 37 games. The former Ranger, since failing to score in eight straight games, has three goals in two games. Unfortunately, Hayes couldn't capitalize on a season-high 5:12 of power-play time.

Hayes recorded a pair of assists in Thursday's 6-1 dismantling of the Sabres.

EDGE Analysis

While Hayes has racked up six helpers in his last eight contests, he hasn't been able to put one into the back of the net despite launching 25 shots over that stretch. As long as he continues to be aggressive, the goals should start coming sooner rather than later.
