• Hockey Club's Barrett Hayton: Produces helper Thursday

  15D ago • By RotoWire

  Hayton logged an assist and won 13 of 16 faceoffs in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Blues. 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.

  Hayton scored a goal on five shots in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Flames. Hayton snapped a five-game point drought with the tally, though it's important to note Utah scored just nine times in that span. The 24-year-old center's slump has cost him a first-line role for now, though he remains on the second line and first power-play unit. He's at five goals, two assists, 28 shots on net and a plus-3 rating over 11 appearances.

• Hockey Club's Barrett Hayton: Nets goal in overtime win

  10/11/2024 • By RotoWire

  Hayton scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 5-4 overtime win over the Islanders. 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.

• Hockey Club's Barrett Hayton: One of each in win

  Hayton scored a goal on three shots and added an assist in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Blackhawks. 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. That role will give Hayton a big opportunity for a breakout year after he was limited to 10 points in 33 contests in an injury-riddled 2023-24.

• Hockey Club's Barrett Hayton: Registers two assists

  10/02/2024 • By RotoWire

  Hayton posted two assists, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 6-1 preseason win over the Sharks. Hayton is healthy again after missing the last month of 2023-24 with a lower-body injury. 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.
