Clayton Keller - Good to go Keller (upper body) will play Tuesday against the Blackhawks, according to Craig Morgan of PHNX Sports.
Impact Keller should be back on the top line and first power-play unit following a four-game absence. He will replace Jason Zucker, who is being scratched for trade-related reasons, in Tuesday's lineup. Keller has accumulated 22 goals, 52 points and 165 shots on net in 57 appearances this season.

Jason Zucker - Sitting Tuesday Zucker (not injured related) won't play Tuesday against Chicago because of trade interest from other teams, according to Chris Johnston of The Athletic.
Impact Zucker has accounted for nine goals, 25 points, 104 shots on net and 74 hits over 51 games this season. He is eligible for unrestricted free agency in the summer and carries a $5.3 million cap hit.

Clayton Keller - Game-time decision Keller (upper body) will be a game-time decision Tuesday against Chicago, per Patrick Brown of the Coyotes' official site.
Impact Keller is probable to return from a four-game absence but still needs to receive the green light from the medical staff. He has amassed 22 goals, 52 points and 165 shots on net across 57 appearances this season. If he is cleared to play, the 25-year-old forward will suit up in his 500th NHL game.
MARCH 5 • ROTOWIRE
Connor Ingram - Between the pipes Tuesday Ingram will be in net Tuesday at home against the Blackhawks, per Patrick Brown of the Coyotes' official site.
Impact Ingram is in search of his first win since Jan. 22 against the Penguins. Although the 26-year-old hasn't won in over a month, he has recorded a .909 save percentage and a 17-15-3 record. He will look to get in the win column as the Blackhawks have lost their last 22 road games.

Liam O'Brien - Collects helper in win O'Brien logged an assist and two hits in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Capitals.
Impact O'Brien snapped an eight-game point drought with the helper, though he also missed time with an upper-body injury in that span. The 29-year-old has been a fourth-line fixture when healthy. He's earned nine points, 121 PIM, 150 hits, 43 shots on net and an even plus-minus rating in that limited role.
MARCH 4 • ROTOWIRE
Juuso Valimaki - Puts up helper Sunday Valimaki notched an assist and two hits in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Capitals on Sunday.
Impact Valimaki has a helper in three of his last five games. The 25-year-old defenseman is starting to find his way on offense against, but he remains in a bottom-four role with virtually no power-play time. He's produced 13 points, 42 shots on net, 44 hits, 49 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over 47 outings this season.
MARCH 4 • ROTOWIRE
Sean Durzi - Garners another power-play assist Durzi logged a power-play assist, five shots on goal, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Capitals.
Impact Durzi has four helpers over his last seven games, and they've all been on the power play. The defenseman's last even strength point was a goal against the Lightning on Jan. 25. Still, some offense is better than none, especially for a top-four blueliner. Durzi has 32 points (14 on the power play), 100 shots on net, 122 blocked shots and 51 PIM over 55 appearances.
MARCH 4 • ROTOWIRE
Lawson Crouse - Sets up empty-netter Crouse notched an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Capitals.
Impact Crouse has a goal and three assists over 13 games since the All-Star break. He's also posted 36 shots and 29 hits in that span, so it appears he's just had a bit of bad luck in the scoring department. The 26-year-old power winger is at 33 points, 138 shots, 130 hits, 32 PIM and a minus-3 rating through 60 appearances this season.
MARCH 4 • ROTOWIRE
Matias Maccelli - Supplies power-play helper Maccelli notched a power-play assist and three shots on goal in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Capitals.
Impact Maccelli's helper extended his point streak to six games (three goals, five assists). The 23-year-old winger has 12 points over 13 contests since the start of February, maintaining solid offense while playing in a top-six role. He's up to 44 points, 108 shots on net and a minus-6 rating over 61 appearances, a pace just slightly behind the 49-point campaign he put up in 64 outings a year ago.
MARCH 4 • ROTOWIRE
Michael Kesselring - Nets goal in win Kesselring scored a goal, went plus-2 and added four PIM in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Capitals.
Impact The goal was Kesselring's first since Dec. 27. The 24-year-old blueliner hasn't been very consistent on offense, chipping in three points over his last 13 outings. He's at 14 points, 46 shots on net, 45 PIM, 68 hits and 32 blocked shots through 44 appearances, primarily in a bottom-four role.
MARCH 4 • ROTOWIRE
Logan Cooley - Scores in Sunday's win Cooley scored a goal in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Capitals.
Impact This was Cooley's second goal in the last three games. The 19-year-old rookie, who has a good playmaking reputation, has actually gone 14 games without an assist, picking up five goals in that span. He's up to 10 tallies, 29 points, 102 shots on net, 41 hits, 24 blocked shots, 18 PIM and a minus-11 rating through 61 outings in a solid first campaign.
MARCH 4 • ROTOWIRE
Jason Zucker - Two-point effort Sunday Zucker scored a power-play goal and added an even-strength assist in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Capitals.
Impact After helping set up Logan Cooley for the game's opening goal in the first period, Zucker gave Arizona a 2-0 lead early in the second with his first power-play tally since Nov. 14. The performance snapped a slump in which Zucker had managed only one helper in his previous nine games, and the veteran winger has made little impact during his first campaign with the Coyotes, producing nine goals and 25 points in 51 contests.
MARCH 4 • ROTOWIRE
Nick Schmaltz - Two points in Sunday's win Schmaltz produced an even-strength goal and a power-play assist in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Capitals.
Impact The 28-year-old has delivered three multi-point efforts in the last five games, a stretch in which he's piled up four goals and seven points. Schmaltz is on pace for his third straight 50-point campaign, but he's focused more on his own scoring in 2023-24 rather than feeding his teammates -- his 18 goals is five short of his career high with 21 games left on the Coyotes' schedule, while his 122 shots on net is only 10 shy of tying his personal best.
MARCH 4 • ROTOWIRE
Dylan Guenther - Three points against Caps Guenther scored a power-play goal and added two assists, one with the man advantage, in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Capitals.
Impact The 20-year-old winger could be putting together a late-season breakout, producing back-to-back multi-point performances as Arizona won back-to-back games for the first time since late January. Over the last 12 contests, Guenther has popped for five goals and 10 points, and he's thriving on the Coyotes' power play with six PP points (four goals, two helpers) over that stretch.
MARCH 4 • ROTOWIRE
Karel Vejmelka - Sharp in Sunday's win Vejmelka made 24 saves in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Capitals.
Impact The 27-year-old netminder was perfect at 5-on-5, with the Caps' only goals coming on power plays in the second and third periods. Vejmelka has started two straight games and won them both, allowing five goals on 63 shots, and with Connor Ingram winless since Jan. 22, the Coyotes' starting job between the pipes could be up for grabs.
