Barrett Hayton Set For First-Line Duty On Thursday
3 years agoArizona Coyotes forward Barrett Hayton will enter the lineup on Thursday against Tampa and is set to center the first line. The Coyotes picked up a bunch of injuries in their last game and head coach Andre Tourigny has been forced to get creative with his lines. Hayton was the fifth-overall pick in the 2018 draft, but he hasn't yet had much success in the NHL, collecting seven points in 34 career outings. His AHL numbers don't exactly jump out either and the 21-year-old boasts only one point this season in four outings for the Tucson Roadrunners. The Coyotes attack will be without Nick Schmaltz and Ryan Dzingel, who are both out with upper-body injuries. Schmaltz is listed day-to-day, while Dzingel was added to Injured Reserve on Wednesday and is week-to-week.
