As previously reported, Alex Galchenyuk is listed week-to-week with a lower-body injury and is expected to miss the team’s opening game of the season against the Dallas Stars.
But Galchenyuk isn’t the only big name player that the Coyotes are missing, with Christian Dvorak, Jakob Chychrun and Dylan Strome all currently sidelined.
Strome has, however, begun training with the team again and should be ready to line-up for the team against the Stars, and may find himself having to fill the hole left by either Galchenyuk or Dvorak.
Strome is typically utilised as a winger by the Arizona Coyotes, but has played as a centre in juniors and could be the player called upon to take over from Dvorak as the team’s third-liner down the middle.
