Nick Bjugstad - Good to go Friday Bjugstad (personal) will play Friday against the Red Wings.
Travis Dermott - Out Friday Dermott (illness) will not suit up Friday against Detroit.
Impact Dermott is considered day-to-day with an illness, so he could return as early as Sunday in Chicago. The 27-year-old hasn't scored a point since Feb. 12.

Travis Dermott - Dealing with minor injury Dermott (undisclosed) has a minor injury, Craig Morgan of PHNX Sports reports.
Impact There's not much information available on what Dermott is dealing with but it sounds like he could be a game-time call for Friday's game against Detroit. He has five points in 38 games this season.
MARCH 9 • ROTOWIRE
Victor Soderstrom - Rejoins big club Soderstrom was promoted from AHL Tucson on Friday.
Impact Soderstrom has tallied eight goals and 25 points through 50 AHL appearances. The 23-year-old has played just one NHL game this season, but after the team traded Matt Dumba and Troy Stetcher before the deadline, Soderstrom should see consistent playing time for the rest of the year.

Connor Ingram - Slated to face Red Wings Ingram is expected to start at home against Detroit on Friday, according to Craig Morgan of PHNX Sports.
Impact Ingram has gone 0-7-2 over his past nine appearances while posting a 4.22 GAA and an .872 save percentage. It will be difficult for him to rebound against Detroit, which ranks sixth offensively with 3.48 goals per game. Ingram is 17-16-3 with a 2.85 GAA and a .908 save percentage in 39 outings overall.
MARCH 8 • ROTOWIRE
Michael Kesselring - Sent to AHL Kesselring was sent down to AHL Tuscon on Friday, per Craig Morgan of PHNX Sports.
Impact Kesselring was sent down to make himself eligible for the AHL playoffs. The 24-year-old has had a solid season in Arizona, logging five goals and nine assists in 46 games played. He will for sure be back with the big club as he's been playing on the second defensive pairing with Juuso Valimaki.
MARCH 8 • ROTOWIRE
Dylan Guenther - Reassigned to AHL Guenther was sent to AHL Tucson on Friday, Craig Morgan of PHNX Sports. The move is likely a paper transaction.
Impact Reassigning Guenther to the minors keeps him eligible for the AHL playoffs. He'll likely be recalled soon, although it remains to be seen if it will happen before Friday's game against Detroit. He has eight goals and 17 points in 26 contests with Arizona this season.
MARCH 8 • ROTOWIRE
Liam O'Brien - Contributes helper in loss O'Brien recorded an assist, five hits and 10 PIM in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Wild.
Impact O'Brien has a helper in two of the last three games, but it's unwise to expect him to keep up that kind of production. The 29-year-old has 10 points through 56 outings this season, one shy of his career-high 11 from the same number of games in 2022-23. He continues to fill an enforcer role, adding 133 PIM and 160 hits while playing in the bottom six.
MARCH 8 • ROTOWIRE
Jack McBain - Generates helper McBain logged an assist, three hits and three blocked shots in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Wild.
Impact McBain snapped an eight-game point drought with the helper. The 24-year-old has seen mostly bottom-six usage in recent weeks, and he isn't getting power-play time. For the season, McBain has 18 points, 38 shots on net, 39 PIM, 136 hits and a plus-3 rating through 48 appearances.
MARCH 8 • ROTOWIRE
Barrett Hayton - Produces power-play assist Hayton logged a power-play assist and three shots on goal in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Wild.
Impact Hayton has two helpers over four games in March. His helper Thursday was his first power-play point since Nov. 7. The center could get more opportunities in the top six down the stretch, though the Coyotes have often rotated their centers through various winger combinations. Hayton has eight points, 62 shots on net, 26 PIM and a minus-13 rating over 31 appearances this season.
MARCH 8 • ROTOWIRE
Nick Schmaltz - Adds power-play helper Schmaltz logged a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Wild.
Impact Schmaltz has racked up four goals and four assists over his last seven outings, including five power-play points in that span. The 28-year-old is up to 40 points, 125 shots on net, 35 blocked shots and a minus-22 rating. He should continue to offer solid scoring-only production while in a top-line role for the Coyotes.
MARCH 8 • ROTOWIRE
Michael Carcone - Finds twine again Carcone scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Wild.
Impact Carcone is producing an encore of his scoring binge from early in the season -- he has three goals and an assist over four games in March. He was scratched for five of the Coyotes' 11 games in February. Carcone is up to 18 goals, six helpers, 83 shots on net, 43 hits and a minus-4 rating over 55 contests overall. With Jason Zucker traded to the Predators, Carcone could get a longer look in a middle-six role.

Patrik Koch - Sent back to minors Koch was reassigned to AHL Tucson on Friday.
Impact Koch's demotion could be temporary, especially if Matt Dumba is traded ahead of Friday's deadline. In his NHL debut against Minnesota on Thursday, the 27-year-old blueliner registered one shot, four hits and 10 PIM in 9:20 of ice time.
