Going 1-4 in their past four games, the Arizona Coyotes are enduring a rough patch in the season as the halfway mark arrives tomorrow against the Minnesota Wild.
Trying to breakout of this stretch, Coyotes head coach André Tourigny has reconfigured the lines and attempted to formulate a recipe for success.
One of those players who have elevated in the roster was Jack McBain, someone who adds physicality, toughness and size to the first line.
There were a few games last year where McBain was on the top forward trio between Clayton Keller and Nick Schmaltz, but it was short-lived, dropping down the lineup soon after.
