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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

MARCH 8 • ROTOWIRE

The 23-year-old center has bounced around the lineup lately, playing on the third line Wednesday.

Out until February Hayton (hand) suffered a setback in his recovery and is expected to be sidelined until February, Craig Morgan of PHNX Sports reports Monday.

Impact Hayton looks set to be sidelined through the Yotes' bye week the first week of February, which could set him up to return Feb. 8 versus Vegas. After a slow start to the season, Hayton had found his offensive game before getting hurt with four points in his last five appearances.

DECEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Lands on IR Hayton (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, per CapFriendly.

Impact Hayton was already given a week-to-week designation after exiting Thursday's contest, so it's no surprise he's now on IR. If he misses 10 games and 24 days, he could later be transferred to long-term injured reserve. Jan Jenik was called up to take Hayton's spot on the roster.
