The Arizona Coyotes are set to have defenseman Jakob Chychrun return from injury next week, and the team needs him to be at his very best when he returns.
Chychrun has not played for the Coyotes since March 12th, having to have surgery to remove a bone spur from his ankle and then recover from a separate wrist injury. Still, the team reportedly has November 21st penciled in as the earliest he could return to the line-up.
Having a player of Chychrun’s quality will undoubtedly help the current Coyotes team, who have started a surprising 6-8-1 this year - far away from the bottoming-out performances that everyone expected considering the prize at the end of it could be the franchise-altering Conor Bedard.
