Alexander Kerfoot - Offers power-play assist Kerfoot notched a power-play assist in Wednesday's 2-1 loss to the Canucks.

Impact Kerfoot has gone 11 games without a goal, but he's starting to get on track with three helpers over his last five contests. The 29-year-old forward is also seeing a smaller role as the Coyotes try to get their younger players more involved late in the campaign. Kerfoot has bounced around the lineup all year, producing 40 points with 95 shots on net, 67 blocked shots, 63 hits and a minus-16 rating over 75 appearances.

Clayton Keller - Ups point streak to nine games Keller registered a power-play assist, two shots on goal and two PIM in Wednesday's 2-1 loss to the Canucks.

Impact Keller helped out on a Dylan Guenther tally in the third period. During his nine-game point streak, Keller has seven goals and seven assists. The 25-year-old continues to be a leader on offense for the Coyotes with 32 goals, 37 helpers, 28 power-play points, 206 shots on net and a minus-21 rating through 71 contests in a top-line role. Keller's hot offense down the stretch means he should be a lock for most fantasy lineups.

Dylan Guenther - Scores lone goal in loss Guenther scored a power-play goal on four shots in Wednesday's 2-1 loss to the Canucks.

Impact Guenther tied the game midway through the third period, but the Coyotes couldn't find a go-ahead tally. The 20-year-old winger has been steady but not explosive on offense with five goals and three assists over his last 11 outings. For the season, he's produced 13 goals, 25 points (11 on the power play), 97 shots on net and a minus-4 rating through 38 appearances.

Connor Ingram - Plays well in loss Ingram stopped 31 of 33 shots in Wednesday's 2-1 loss to the Canucks.

Impact Ingram has gone 2-4-0 since the Coyotes returned to a strict goalie rotation. This was his best effort in a defeat in that span, but a Conor Garland goal within the final two minutes was the difference. Ingram is at 20-20-3 with a 2.88 GAA and a .909 save percentage through 46 appearances. He's had strong moments this season, but the Coyotes are out of the playoff picture, so he's likely no better than a No. 3 option in most fantasy formats. Assuming the Coyotes continue to alternate their goalies, Ingram's next start would line up to be Sunday in San Jose.

Connor Ingram - Taking on Canucks Ingram will protect the home goal versus the Canucks on Wednesday.

Impact Ingram will take his turn in the Coyotes' goalie rotation, having won just two of his last five outings. In that span, he's given up 19 goals. Facing a formidable offense in the Canucks, Ingram is not a strong option for fantasy managers.

Juuso Valimaki - Chips in with helper Valimaki provided an assist, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 8-5 loss to the Rangers.

Impact Valimaki snapped a nine-game point drought when he set up Logan Cooley's third-period tally. It's been a tough year for Valimaki, who has 15 points, 61 shots on net, 72 blocked shots, 57 hits and a plus-8 rating over 60 appearances. He remains a constant in the lineup, but he typically sees bottom-four minutes and his power-play time is sporadic.

Jack McBain - Puts up assist McBain provided an assist and added two hits in Saturday's 8-5 loss to the Rangers.

Impact McBain set up a Matias Maccelli goal in the second period to get the Coyotes on the board. The 24-year-old McBain remains in a fourth-line role, which has seen him earn five points over his last 12 outings. The center is at 22 points, 170 hits, 50 shots on net, 41 PIM and a plus-6 rating through 59 outings overall.

Josh Doan - Adds assist in loss Doan notched an assist in Saturday's 8-5 loss to the Rangers.

Impact For the first time in his three NHL games, Doan wasn't the star of the Coyotes' offense. He's still earned five points and 12 shots on net over those contests, but the Rangers' defense was always going to present more of a challenge than the Predators or Blue Jackets. Doan should continue to see middle-six usage as the Coyotes give him a taste of the NHL down the stretch.

Nick Schmaltz - Logs pair of assists Schmaltz recorded two assists and a minus-3 rating in Saturday's 8-5 loss to the Rangers.

Impact Schmaltz set up linemates Clayton Keller and Nick Bjugstad for goals in the second period. The 28-year-old Schmaltz ended March with three consecutive multi-point efforts, and he had five goals and 16 helpers over 15 contests for the month. The forward is up to 56 points (21 on the power play), 144 shots on net and a minus-17 rating through 71 outings overall. Schmaltz is four points away from setting a career high.

Lawson Crouse - Finds twine on power play Crouse scored a power-play goal on two shots and added two hits in Saturday's 8-5 loss to the Rangers.

Impact Crouse snapped his 19-game goal drought with the tally. The winger had just six helpers in that span, though three of them came over the previous six contests. He's at 21 goals, 37 points, 159 shots on net and 166 hits through 73 contests. Crouse's offense can be streaky, but he fills a middle-six role for the Coyotes as a power winger.

MARCH 31 • ROTOWIRE

Matias Maccelli - Two points in Saturday's loss Maccelli scored a goal and added an assist in Saturday's 8-5 loss to the Rangers.

Impact The two-point effort gave Maccelli a career-high 51 points on the year. He's picked up five points over his last three games after slumping for much of March. The 23-year-old playmaker has 14 goals, 37 helpers, 133 shots on net and a minus-7 rating through 74 appearances. Even from a fourth-line role at even strength, he can make an impact, though his usage remains more aligned with a middle-six forward.

Logan Cooley - One of each in loss Cooley scored a goal on four shots, added a power-play assist and went plus-2 in Saturday's 8-5 loss to the Rangers.

Impact Cooley found his scoring touch in March, posting eight goals and three assists over 15 contests. He factored in on the Coyotes' last two goals in Saturday's barn-burner. The 19-year-old rookie is up to 17 goals, 22 helpers, 134 shots on net, 48 hits and a minus-11 rating over 74 appearances. He's quietly vaulted himself into fourth place in the rookie scoring race, trailing just Connor Bedard (57 points), Luke Hughes (41) and Brock Faber (41).

MARCH 31 • ROTOWIRE

Nick Bjugstad - Extends point streak to six games Bjugstad scored a goal, dished a power-play assist and went minus-3 in Saturday's 8-5 loss to the Rangers.

Impact Bjugstad has goals in four straight games and he's posted seven points during a six-game streak. The 31-year-old is careening toward a career year -- he's four points shy of matching his high mark of 48 from 2017-18. The center has 21 goals, 23 assists, 159 shots on net, 113 hits, 57 PIM and a plus-10 rating over 73 appearances. Bjugstad is a solid addition in fantasy as long as he remains on the top line.

MARCH 31 • ROTOWIRE

Clayton Keller - Eight-game, 13-point streak Keller scored his 32nd goal of the season in Saturday's 8-5 loss to the Rangers.

Impact Keller has 13 points (seven goals, six assists) during an eight-game point streak. He leads his team with 68 points (70 games), and he's been incredibly consistent over his last three seasons, delivering 217 points in 219 games. Keller continues to be one of the few fantasy bright spots in the desert.

MARCH 31 • ROTOWIRE

Karel Vejmelka - Win streak snapped by Rangers Vejmelka made 24 saves in an 8-5 loss to the Rangers. He allowed six goals.

Impact He went into the third locked in a 3-3 tie, but his team collapsed early in the third and allowed three consecutive goals before his mates made a game of it. Vejmelka had come into Saturday on a three-game winning streak (four goals allowed). If the Coyotes follow its recent pattern of alternating starters, Vejmelka will suit up Friday against Vegas. That's a rough matchup, so find another option for next week's games.
