In their streak of earning at least one point in five of their last six games before the All-Star break, the Coyotes were enjoying their best health of the entire season. But in that final game on Jan. 25 against the Columbus Blue Jackets, things changed in the blink of an eye.
Defenseman Alex Goligoski missed the game with the flu and both forward Brad Richardson and defenseman Jason Demers went down with upper-body injuries. And somewhere along the line, Jordan Martinook also became injured.
But it looks as if both Goligoski and Richardson are ready to play on Thursday against the Dallas Stars, although the jury is still out on Martinook and Demers.
