Injuries continue to pile up for the Arizona Coyotes as they continue a four-game homestand against the New Jersey Devils on Friday.
The Coyotes placed forward Nick Schmaltz on injured reserve Thursday and dubbed him week-to-week with a lower-body injury. Defenseman Kevin Connauton also missed Thursday's practice with an injury, although head coach Rick Tocchet did not provide any specifics.
If both Schmaltz and Connauton miss Friday's game, they will be without a total of six regulars on a list that also includes Antti Raanta, Christian Dvorak, Jason Demers and Michael Grabner.
The Coyotes recalled center Laurent Dauphin from the club's AHL affiliate in Tucson on Thursday.
