On Wednesday, the Arizona Coyotes snapped a six-game losing streak, beating the San Jose Sharks 5-2. It should have been one of the high points of the season, but late in the third period Clayton Keller went awkwardly into the boards and broke his femur. As a result, the Arizona Coyotes will be playing without Clayton Keller for the first time since April 8th, 2017.
So while the Coyotes will be going into tonight’s game with some momentum after a win, they will also be without their best forward.
Arizona has seen several injuries to important players, including one of the Coyotes’ top penalty killers Lawson Crouse.
