Hayes was called up to Pittsburgh’s roster ahead of their Thursday night contest against the Buffalo Sabres. The 23-year-old forward undoubtedly thrived in his NHL debut for the Penguins, as he scored two goals in the club’s 5-2 victory over Buffalo.<\/p>\n
Now, with the Olympic break here, Hayes will be looking to build on his momentum down in the AHL with Wilkes-Barre\/Scranton. In 31 games this season with the AHL club, he has recorded 13 goals, 10 assists, and 23 points.<\/p>\n
McGroarty, on the other hand, has recorded two goals, three assists, and five points in 20 games so far this season with Pittsburgh. The 2022 first-round pick has also posted four goals, eight assists, and 12 points in nine games this season with Wilkes-Barre\/Scranton.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Olympic break is here for the Pittsburgh Penguins, and they have made some roster moves because of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":449314,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5113],"tags":[3690,16597,229,5,4,118,1469,100,5216,2665,101,2171,7627],"class_list":{"0":"post-449313","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-pittsburgh-penguins","8":"tag-american-hockey-league","9":"tag-avery-hayes","10":"tag-buffalo-sabres","11":"tag-hockey","12":"tag-nhl","13":"tag-penguins","14":"tag-pittsburgh","15":"tag-pittsburgh-penguins","16":"tag-pittsburghpenguins","17":"tag-roster-moves","18":"tag-rutger-mcgroarty","19":"tag-the-penguins","20":"tag-wilkes-barre-scranton-penguins"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nhl\/116025305794983629","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/449313","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=449313"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/449313\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/449314"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=449313"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=449313"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=449313"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
