Boston Bruins forward Jimmy Hayes has had a very disappointing season so far. The 26-year old forward has yet to put a point up on the board for the Black and Gold. (He did manage to put up the winning goal in a 10-round shootout against the Tampa Bay Lightning though.)
As the season has progressed, Hayes has found his play time reduced. He is playing less than nine minutes a night, and even then his performance hasn’t been what the Bruins have needed of him. His -9 rating is the worst on the team.
In an attempt to help spur production, Coach Claude Julien decided to sit the player for a few games in the hopes to clear his head.
