Jimmy Hayes does monkey-off-back celebration after ending long drought

No more imaginary primates will weigh down Jimmy Hayes for the foreseeable future.

The Boston Bruins forward celebrated accordingly Sunday after scoring against the Tampa Bay Lightning, collecting his first point of the season in his 20th game.

Hayes ended a 35-game point drought dating back to last season, as first mentioned by NHL.com's Amalie Benjamin. He earned a point for the first time since his goal against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Feb. 24.

Teammate Brad Marchand did the same celebration when he scored his first goal in 13 games back in 2013, and Toronto Maple Leafs forward Nazem Kadri did it just over a year ago when he snapped a 15-game slump.
