The Pittsburgh Penguins are adjusting their offense for their final game before the Olympic break, recalling winger Avery Hayes for his NHL debut due to the absences of Noel Acciari (illness), Rickard Rakell (lower-body injury), and Blake Lizotte (personal leave for a child’s birth). With these key players out, Benjamin Kindel and Egor Chinakhov will become central to the offense. Hayes, a two-time OHL champion, brings experience from a strong AHL season and aims to add versatility. The Penguins hope he can effectively fill the gaps left by the injured and absent players.
