Due to an injury-plagued defensive core, Arizona Coyotes prospect Victor Söderström looks like he is the next man up for the NHL franchise.
So far, Travis Dermott (upper body), Matt Dumba (lower body) and Juuso Välimäki (upper body) are all out of the Coyotes’ lineup.
Already, Michael Kesselring and Vladisalav Kolyachonok were promoted by the Coyotes a few weeks ago from their AHL affiliate, the Tucson Roadrunners because of the ongoing issue.
However, it was announced that Kolyachonok has suffered a lower-body injury and will be as out week-to-week now.
With that being said, is it possible that Söderström can make his first NHL appearance of the season in the not-too-distant future?
