The New York Rangers are 2-3-5 in their last 10 games and are one regulation loss away from being a .500 hockey club. It’s been a rough December for the Rangers, but not for center Kevin Hayes. He’s been playing some of the best hockey of his life.
Hayes has piled up 15 points in his last eight games. He extended that streak against the Columbus Blue Jackets last night with his sixth multi-point game of this stretch.
Those 15 points include three goals and four primary assists at 5v5. That means that Hayes has primary points on seven of the Rangers’ last 26 goals scored at 5v5.
