Utah signed Barrett Hayton to a two-year extension worth $5.3 million ($2.65M AAV).

Hayton enjoyed a second-half breakout in 2023, putting high expectations on him entering 2024. A slow start and an injury limited him to just 10 points (3G / 7A) in 33 games, but he'll be an integral part of the Coyotes' top-9 in the 2024-25 season. He's previously shown outstanding chemistry with Clayton Keller and Nick Schmaltz, so he could be the favourite to win the top-line job out of camp, which would make him a post-hype breakout candidate this season.

Hayton (lower body) will miss "some time" and is expected to be out longer than day-to-day.

Hayton was a late scratch on Tuesday due to a lower-body injury and unfortunately is expected to miss more time than originally planned as he is out longer than a day-to-day prognosis while he continues to get tested by team doctors. The 23-year-old has had a season to forget as its been riddled with injuries which has led to very disappointing production with his three goals, 10 points, 66 SOG, 26 PIMs and -13 plus/minus in 33 games played.

Barrett Hayton has been placed on the injured reserve and is expected to miss 4-6 weeks.

Hayton has been placed on the injured reserve Saturday and will miss 4-6 weeks. Hayton scored a goal for the Coyotes despite exiting the game with an upper-body injury after playing only 7:57 time-on-ice. The Coyotes finished the game down two forwards as Matias Maccelli also exited the game but was more fortunate than Hayton with his post-game prognosis, as he is not expected to miss much (if any) time. Hayton had four points (2G / 2A) in his last five games after being held without a single point in his first 11.

The Coyotes announced Hayton will be out for the remainder of Thursday's game after suffering an upper-body injury.

It couldn't have come at a worse time for Hayton, who was finally finding his stride after going pointless in his first 11 games. Hayton has registered four points in his last five games, including a goal in Thursday's game in Columbus prior to leaving due to the injury. We should expect to receive an update on Hayton's injury and a possible timeline for his recovery in the coming days.

The Coyotes signed Barrett Hayton to a two-year contract extension worth $3.55 million ($1.775M AAV).

Hayton was the No.5 overall pick in 2018 and has 31 points (13G / 18A) in 94 career NHL games, including 24 points (10G / 14A) in 60 games a season ago. With limited competition for minutes down the middle in Arizona, Hayton could be their No.1 option between Clayton Keller and Nick Schmaltz in 2022-23.

Hayton is expected to be back in the Coyotes lineup on Friday.

Hayton missed Wednesday's game with an undisclosed injury but is expected to play on Friday. Hayton, who started the season on the wing, will shift back to centre and could be on a line with Phil Kessel tonight. Hayton has registered one goal on three shots in three games this season.
