Hayton (undisclosed) was serving as a healthy scratch against Anaheim on Wednesday, per NHL.com.

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.

He's been streaky at times, but his offense recently makes him a player to at least keep an eye on for fantasy managers. He's three goals away from hitting 20 for the first time, and he's also five points shy of matching his career-best total from 2022-23.
