A heavy 12.7 hits per 60 defines John Hayden's tracked checking-line role, built on sheltered minutes — 9.8 a game — since 2019-20 with New Jersey, Buffalo, Arizona and Seattle, though the read stays light on sample. His scoring has stayed light across that span, 24 points in 214 games, and he's now with the Blackhawks.
