What It Means:

It's unclear what is bothering Hayes, but he may have been hurt in Tuesday's fight with Carolina Hurricanes' Brad Malone. Coach Claude Julien said that Hayes is day-to-day and he will be re-evaluated on Thursday.

Hayes has 29 points (13 goals, 16 assists) in 75 games played this season and has been poor at driving possession. His Corsi For Percentage is 46.9 and his Relative Corsi For at Even Strength is -3.4. With just 2 games left on the season, we currently give the Bruins a 51.0 percent chance at making the playoffs.
