Logs assist Tuesday Hayton posted an assist and three shots on goal in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Canadiens.

Impact 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.

Impact Hayton rejoined Clayton Keller and Nick Schmaltz on the top line Thursday after ceding the first-line spot to Logan Cooley in recent games. 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.

He's at five goals, two assists, 28 shots on net and a plus-3 rating over 11 appearances.

Impact Hayton's opening point streak ended Monday in a 3-0 loss to the Devils, but it didn't take him long to get back on the scoresheet. The center has scored four goals and added two assists over five contests this season, skating on the first line and top power-play unit. He's added 13 shots on net and a minus-1 rating.

Impact The 24-year-old center opened the scoring early in the first period, taking a slick feed from Clayton Keller and snapping a shot past Igor Shesterkin from in close.

Impact Hayton has scored in both games this season and is up to three points and six shots on net while skating in a top-line role. He didn't come into the season with a lot of fantasy buzz, but if he keeps this up, he'll be a must-have option in standard formats. Hayton's career-best numbers came in 2022-23 when he produced 19 goals and 43 points over 82 games, but he could shatter those numbers playing alongside Clayton Keller and Nick Schmaltz this year.

OCTOBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Impact 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.

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.

When healthy, the 24-year-old has top-six potential -- he produced 43 points in 82 contests in 2022-23. Hayton could be a candidate to skate between Clayton Keller and Nick Schmaltz on the top line.

He averaged 17:01 of ice time as a top-six staple but never quite found his groove offensively.

Impact 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.

MARCH 13 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with undisclosed issue Hayton is considered questionable for Tuesday's game versus Minnesota due to an undisclosed injury, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports.
