Penguins Call Up Hayes Amid Injury Crunch
The Penguins grab Avery Hayes from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton to plug holes left by Anthony Mantha's day-to-day status and Blake Lizotte's absence. Hayes, fresh off nine points in his last seven AHL games, returns after a quick demotion and could slot right into the lineup against Ottawa if Mantha sits. Pittsburgh counts on the 23-year-old's recent minor-league heat to reignite his NHL spark, especially with his entry-level deal and depth needs mounting in a tight race.
