Hockey Club's Barrett Hayton: Tallies go-ahead goal
Rotowire
Hayton scored a goal on three shots and added two PIM in Friday's 2-1 in over the Sharks.
Hayton was demoted from the top line Friday, instead playing on the second line. It still worked out, as he scored with 1:32 left in the third period, and his goal stood as the game-winner. Hayton has just two points over his last seven outings and a total of 18 points, 59 shots on net, 26 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating through 41 contests overall. Moving down the lineup isn't great for his fantasy value, though that could change if he picks up the scoring pace in the second half of the campaign.

Rotowire

Despite his struggles, he's still seeing top-line minutes at even strength, though his power-play time has largely dried up. Hayton is at 13 points, 47 shots on net, 19 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating over 31 appearances, a marginally better showing than his 10 points in 33 outings last year.

Hockey Club's Barrett Hayton: Logs assist Tuesday
Rotowire
Hayton posted an assist and three shots on goal in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Canadiens.
Some lineup shuffling in November has derailed what looked to be a breakout season for Hayton. His helper Tuesday snapped a seven-game slump, and he's managed just two assists over 11 contests this month. He's also out of the power-play mix, which won't help his numbers. The 24-year-old center has nine points, 40 shots on net, 14 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over 22 appearances. He should easily surpass the 10-point effort he mustered in 33 games in 2023-24, but a return to the level of his 43-point 2022-23 campaign is going to require a few warm stretches to combat his recent cold spell.

Rotowire
Hayton logged an assist and won 13 of 16 faceoffs in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Blues.

The helper was Hayton's second point over his last four outings, though this improved stretch follows a five-game slump. He's at eight points, 32 shots on net and a plus-2 rating through 14 contests, and there's still the foundation of a breakout campaign in place despite Hayton's recent struggles.

Hayton scored a goal on three shots and added an assist in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Blackhawks.
Hayton helped out on Clayton Keller's first-period tally and tipped in a Mikhail Sergachev shot in the second. Hayton's goal was the game-winner. The 24-year-old is starting the year between Keller and Nick Schmaltz on the top line.

Hockey Club's Barrett Hayton: Registers two assists
Rotowire
Hayton posted two assists, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 6-1 preseason win over the Sharks.
Hayton is healthy again after missing the last month of 2023-24 with a lower-body injury. The 24-year-old center signed a two-year, $5.3 million contract with Utah this offseason, setting him up to be at least a key middle-six forward. He could push for the first-line job with Clayton Keller and Nick Schmaltz on his wings. Hayton showed promise with a 43-point season in 2022-23, but he was limited to 10 points in 33 games last year due to two significant injury absences. He's played a full season just once in the last three years, but he if he can stay healthy, Hayton is an intriguing breakout candidate.

Hockey Club's Barrett Hayton: Inks two-year extension
Rotowire
Hayton (lower body) signed a two-year, $5.3 million deal with Utah on Monday.
Hayton was banged up last year and multiple injuries caused him to miss nearly 50 games. He was held to just three goals and 10 points in 33 appearances. He averaged 17:01 of ice time as a top-six staple but never quite found his groove offensively. The 24-year-old forward scored a career-high 43 points during the 2022-23 campaign and should be in line for at least similar production if he can stay on the ice this upcoming season.

Coyotes' Barrett Hayton: Out longer than day-to-day
Rotowire
Hayton (lower body) returned to Arizona and is considered out longer than day-to-day after missing Tuesday's contest versus the Wild, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports.
Hayton will likely miss Thursday's game versus the Red Wings as well, and it's unclear when he might be able to play again. Given the Coyotes' place in the standings, they may shut him down for the year if he doesn't make progress soon. His absence should allowed John Leonard to stick in the lineup.

Hayton has gone nine games without a goal, but he's racked up four assists over his last six contests.

Hayton logged a power-play assist and three shots on goal in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Wild.
Hayton has two helpers over four games in March. His helper Thursday was his first power-play point since Nov. 7.

Hayton has eight points, 62 shots on net, 26 PIM and a minus-13 rating over 31 appearances this season.
