Kevin Hayes news is not what Rangers wanted to hear

GLENDALE, Ariz. — Kevin Hayes didn’t feel well enough to skate at Saturday’s practice, so day-to-day may become a couple of more days before No. 13 can rejoin the lineup.

Hayes, who was sidelined for Friday night’s 6-1 paddy whacking in Colorado with unidentified issues lingering from a Dec. 14 crash into the rear wall that had limited the center’s practice time in the interim, has not skated since Wednesday’s 7-2 rout by the Penguins at the Garden. It would thus be a surprise if he were able to play in Sunday’s 2 p.m. game against the Coyotes.
