Hayes had a goal and an assist in a 5-4 win over Nashville on Thursday.
Preds' netminder Juuse Saros attempted to direct a rebound off a Rasmus Ristolainen shot toward the other side of the zone and instead directed it right into Hayes, who was driving the net. Hayes has missed so much time this season, but he may finally be warming up. He has four points (two goals, two assists) in his last four games.
