The Chicago Blackhawks have recalled forward Jimmy Hayes from
the American Hockey League's Rockford IceHogs.
Hayes, 23, recorded 17 points (8G, 9A) and an AHL career-best
+2 plus/minus rating in 37 regular-season games with the IceHogs. The Boston
native shared fifth on the club with a career-high eight goals. Originally
selected by the Toronto Maple Leafs in the second round (60th overall) of the
2008 NHL Entry Draft, Hayes notched nine points (5G, 4A) in 31 regular-season
games with the Blackhawks last season in his NHL debut and tallied 15 penalty
minutes in two 2012 Western Conference Quarterfinals tilts.
