Hayton scored an empty-net goal on two shots and added two PIM in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Panthers.
Hayton's empty-netter with 56 seconds left ended up being valuable insurance, as Carter Verhaeghe scored for the Panthers after that. As a result, Hayton got his first game-winning tally this season after seven of his 20 goals last year secured victories for Utah. Hayton has five points over his past seven outings, but he's at just seven goals, 17 points, 86 shots, 36 PIM and a plus-4 rating through 48 appearances in 2025-26.
Hayton scored a power-play goal and added an even-strength assist in Saturday's 5-2 win over Nashville.
Both points came in the third period as the Mammoth pulled away. It was Hayton's first multi-point performance since Jan. 1, and over the last 18 games, he's produced three goals and 11 points while helping to fill the hole in the top six created by the absence of Logan Cooley (lower body).

Mammoth's Barrett Hayton: Strikes on power play
Rotowire
Hayton scored a power-play goal on two shots and added two PIM in Wednesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Flyers.
Hayton has tallied in consecutive contests after going 13 games without a goal. The 25-year-old center is still in a top-six role with power-play time, which should allow him to get his offense back on track. For the season, he's earned 15 points (four on the power play), 73 shots on net, 22 blocked shots, 34 PIM and a plus-4 rating across 45 appearances.

Mammoth's Barrett Hayton: Fills empty cage
Rotowire
Hayton scored an empty-net goal on two shots in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Kraken.
Hayton ended a month-long goal drought, a span in which he still chipped in six assists and a plus-7 rating over 13 games. The 25-year-old has mostly played in a middle-six role lately, as he hasn't been consistent enough to bump Nick Schmaltz from the top-line center job. Hayton is now at five goals, 14 points, 71 shots on net, 32 PIM, 22 blocked shots, 15 hits and a plus-4 rating across 44 outings.

Mammoth's Barrett Hayton: Pockets pair of helpers
Rotowire
Hayton registered two assists and went plus-3 in Thursday's 7-2 win over the Islanders.
Hayton was one of six Mammoth skaters to earn multiple points. He set up Dylan Guenther's first two goals of the game. This was Hayton's first multi-point effort all season, and it could spark his offense in the second half. The center has four goals, seven helpers, 60 shots on net, 26 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 36 appearances in a middle-six role. He's shooting just 6.7 percent thus far -- a little positive regression should be in order, though he could also do better than 1.67 shots per game, as he's often been closer to two per contest in recent years.

Rotowire
Hayton scored a power-play goal in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Bruins.

The center has struggled this year despite regularly seeing top-six minutes, earning seven points, 50 shots on net, 20 PIM, 11 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating over 30 appearances.

Mammoth's Barrett Hayton: Scratched Wednesday
Rotowire
Hayton (undisclosed) was serving as a healthy scratch against Anaheim on Wednesday, per NHL.com.
The reason for Hayton's absence wasn't immediately clear prior to puck drop, but it seems the 25-year-old center was perfectly healthy and being held out as a healthy scratch. Considering the Mammoth came away with a 7-0 victory over the Ducks, Hayton could face an uphill battle getting back into the lineup versus Vancouver on Friday.

Mammoth's Barrett Hayton: Ends lengthy slump
Rotowire
Hayton scored a power-play goal on two shots in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Canadiens.
Hayton was 0-for-November prior to this contest, going 12 games without a point and posting a minus-6 rating in that span. The center broke the drought with Utah's first goal, getting on the board at 9:43 of the second period. For the season, Hayton has three goals, five points, 33 shots on net, 18 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 22 appearances. The 25-year-old's offense has been far too inconsistent to be trusted in fantasy, especially when he's adding so little in the non-scoring categories.

Mammoth's Barrett Hayton: Puts away goal
Rotowire
Hayton scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Oilers.
Hayton had gone six games without a goal, adding two assists in that span. The 25-year-old's tally briefly gave the Mammoth a 3-2 lead, but the Oilers scored the last four goals of the game. Hayton is at four points, 10 shots on net and a plus-7 rating across nine appearances in a top-six role. He'll need to produce offense at a higher rate to get on the radar in most fantasy formats, as he offers little in the way of non-scoring production.

Rotowire
Hayton (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision for Monday's game against Chicago, per Catherine Bogart of Utah's official site.
