I can't recall though - did Hayes play with Gaudreau prior to this year?

No, last season was Hayes' first with Gaudreau. However, Hayes was starting to put up more points in his last season on the 2nd line before the trio got in the first quarter of the season. He was looking like a break-out player from what I recall on his own, though playing with Gaudreau and Arnold definitely helped his numbers explode at the time.
