Boston Bruins forward Jimmy Hayes has left his team’s game against the Florida Panthers.
Hayes suffered a lower-body injury and is unlikely to return, the team announced via Twitter. The big winger played just two shifts before heading down the tunnel, according to Mike Loftus of The Patriot Ledger.
It’s been a trying year for Hayes. After scoring 35 and 29 points in the last two years, he has just five points this season. He’s on a 13-game pointless streak, and has just two assists in his last 28 games before today. Hayes didn’t register a point in his first 19 games of the season. The Boston-native is in the middle year of a three-year pact, worth $2.3MM per season.
We’ll update this story as more information comes available.
