Christian Dvorak has not yet made an appearance for the Arizona Coyotes this season, having undergone pectoral surgery just prior to the start of the season.
Dvorak, 23, spent a brief conditioning stint with the Coyotes’ AHL affiliates the Tucson Roadrunners last week – making two appearances to help him get back up to speed before returning to NHL action.
Now, per Arizona Sports 98.7 FM, Dvorak is set to make his season debut for the Coyotes when they take on the Panthers at home.
They also report that Dvorak is set to feature on a line with Richard Panik and Conor Garland, with Dvorak looking to step into his familiar centre role.
