The average age of the Coyotes’ forward group dropped to 22 on Tuesday, with the four lines going up against the Stars including a pair of teenagers, one 20-year-old and two at 21.
Winger Jamie McGinn, who turns 29 in August, was the eldest of the bunch.
“That had to be the youngest lineup I’ve ever coached in the league by far,” coach Dave Tippett said.
Arizona’s forwards bumped their average up Thursday, albeit just to 25, with the return of captain Shane Doan and winger Radim Vrbata. Both were sidelined Tuesday with lower-body injuries, and each expects to be healthy enough to also skate Saturday in the team’s season finale against the Wild.
