Despite struggles at the NHL level, the Pittsburgh Penguins have promising developments in their AHL affiliate, particularly with 23-year-old winger Avery Hayes. Currently on a strong run with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins, Hayes has tallied six goals and 11 points in his last 11 games, bringing his season total to nine goals and 17 points in 23 games. After a solid training camp, he remains a candidate for an NHL call-up, especially as the Penguins face an eight-game losing streak. However, a roster freeze until December 28 limits potential recalls to emergency situations.
