Blackhawks' Gavin Hayes: Tallies twice in AHL loss

Hayes scored two goals in AHL Rockford's 8-4 loss to Chicago on Wednesday.

Hayes opened the season on a 17-game goal drought before double-dipping in this high-scoring contest. The 21-year-old winger had just five points through 18 outings to begin his second AHL campaign. A third-round pick from 2022, Hayes doesn't appear to be close to getting his NHL debut, given his current lackluster production.
