As the Coyotes play out the string of regular season games remaining and on Friday were a week away from their Gila River Arena finale, there isn't much intrigue beyond whether they will end up with the lowest point total in the NHL and improve their chances at the No. 1 overall draft pick this offseason.
But there was something worth witnessing on Friday night, aside from the large crowd that lined up early for a shot at a Jakob Chychrun bobblehead. It was the NHL debut of forward Bokondji Imama, who after almost five seasons in the AHL with the Ontario Reign and Tucson Roadrunners got his shot when he was called up from the Roadrunners earlier Friday.
