Hayden has 249 games of NHL experience since being drafted in the third round by the Chicago Blackhawks in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft but has been limited to only nine games since the end of the 2021-22 season. The 29-year-old had 26 points (15G / 11A) in 65 games with the Coachella Valley Firebirds (AHL) last season.
Hayden played two games with Seattle over the past two weeks, being held off the scoresheet while averaging under seven minutes on the ice. Hayden has spent most of the 2023-24 campaign in the AHL, scoring four goals with six assists (10 points) in 33 games.
Hayden will sit on Wednesday as Kailer Yamamoto draws back into the lineup in his place. Hayden is yet to register a point in two games with the Kraken this season.
Hayden will be the odd-man out on Thursday as Andre Burakovsky is set to return from a lower-body injury. Hayden has played just one game with the Kraken this season, registering one shot on goal and two hits.
Hayden has scored four goals with six assists (10 points) in 33 AHL games this season. If he plays on Tuesday, it will be his Kraken debut and his first NHL game since March 18th, 2023.
Hayden had two goals, seven PIMs, and a +2 plus/minus through seven games with Seattle in 2022-23 and has signed a one-year, two-way deal worth $775,000 AAV. The 28-year-old centre has played for five NHL teams across his seven year career, picking up 17 goals, 37 points to go along with 290 PIMS in 247 games played.
Hayden left the Kraken's previous contest after just 4:14 TOI due to a lower-body injury and will be out indefinitely as he does not have a timetable for his return. It is a tough loss for the 28-year-old who has only played in seven games for Seattle this season.
Hayden has 17 goals, 33 points, 58 PIMs and a +10 plus/minus through 47 games with Coachella Valley (AHL) and has been recalled to Seattle for a second time this season. In the 28-year-old's previous showing with the big club this season, he had two goals, and a +2 plus/minus through five games.
Hayden has 13 goals, 12 assists, 51 PIMs and a +6 plus/minus through 36 games with Coachella Valley (AHL) and has been recalled on Thursday for the second time this season. In Hayden's previous stint with Seattle this season, he had one goal, four SOG and a +1 plus/minus through three games and 8:02 TOI.
Hayden had just two goals and two assists in 55 games with the Sabres in 2022. In his six-year career, the 27-year-old has never played more than 54 games and has a career-high of four goals and 13 points. Heading to Seattle, he should fill out a fourth-line role for the Kraken but they have the flexibility to send him down with the two-way contract.
Hayden has not been in the Coyotes lineup since last Monday but will return from a two-game absence on the COVID-19 reserve list. Look for Hayden to replace Hudson Fasching.
Hayden has been a healthy scratch for the last four games but will replace Christian Fischer (undisclosed) in the lineup on Tuesday. Hayden did not register a point in 9:43 TOI in his season debut.
Hayden was a healthy scratch for the first three games of the season but will replace Barrett Hayton (undisclosed) in the lineup on Wednesday. Hayton is dealing with a minor injury, so Hayden's stay in the lineup could be short-lived.
