The Arizona Coyotes will be without one of their stars tonight in their tilt against the Vancouver Canucks.
Suffering an upper-body injury two nights ago, Nick Schmaltz will not lace up the skates and hit the ice tonight in British Columbia.
He was originally labeled as a game-time decision and out day-to-day, but he is not on the ice for warmups.
In the second period against the Calgary Flames, the Coyotes were down to 10 forwards and seven defensemen after Schmaltz headed to the locker room and did not return.
