The Pittsburgh Penguins recalled forward Avery Hayes from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton of the American Hockey League (AHL) on Sunday.

This marks the second time this season Hayes has been summoned to the NHL roster.

Previously, he was recalled Feb. 5. That same day, he made his NHL debut and scored two goals in a 5-2 road win against the Buffalo Sabres.
