Avery Hayes\u00a0put on quite a show in his NHL debut on Thursday, a two-goal performance in the Penguins’ win in Buffalo … and in his return to Wilkes-Barre\/Scranton’s lineup on Saturday, he capped off a hat trick with an overtime-winner in Wilkes-Barre’s 4-3 win over the Bears.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Rutger McGroarty\u00a0set up both of Hayes’ first two goals, the first of which came on the power play and the second was shorthanded. Hayes’ overtime goal was another power play tally, and his 16th AHL goal of the year.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Melvin Fernstrom\u00a0scored the other goal, his first in the AHL. It was his second game in Wilkes-Barre since the Penguins brought him over from Sweden. He had two assists in his debut.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Ville Koivunen\u00a0had a pair of assists. Matt Dumba\u00a0had one assist to extend his point streak to five games. Dumba has four goals and eight assists in those last five games.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Tanner Howe\u00a0didn’t play in this game, but it was a planned absence as he eases into the pro game after his lengthy recovery from ACL surgery.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Sergei Murashov\u00a0stopped 20 of 23 shots.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Avery Hayes\u00a0put on quite a show in his NHL debut on Thursday, a two-goal performance in the Penguins’…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5113],"tags":[16597,32654,5,4,118,99,1469,100,5216,12244],"class_list":["post-451016","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-pittsburgh-penguins","tag-avery-hayes","tag-feed-article","tag-hockey","tag-nhl","tag-penguins","tag-penguins-news","tag-pittsburgh","tag-pittsburgh-penguins","tag-pittsburghpenguins","tag-wbs-penguins"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nhl\/116033401855643402","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/451016","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=451016"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/451016\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=451016"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=451016"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=451016"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
