Arizona Coyotes center Nick Schmaltz was injured during pregame warmups on Monday and scratched just before the Coyotes played the Los Angeles Kings.
The Coyotes announced that Schmaltz suffered an upper body injury and will be re-evaluated on Tuesday. Schmaltz, who has 10 goals and 22 assists this season, had appeared in all 52 of the team's previous games this season.
That leaves five players who have played all of the team's games — Jakob Chychrun, Clayton Keller, Christian Dvorak, Alex Goligoski and Phil Kessel.
It wasn't clear what happened to Schmaltz, but he was down on the ice along the boards and needed help getting up.
