GAME LOG

Ryan McGregor - Returns to Roadrunners McGregor was demoted to AHL Tucson on Tuesday.
Impact McGregor failed to break into the lineup during his stint in the NHL with the team opting instead to use a seventh defenseman. The 24-year-old center has produced a mere two goals and two assists in 19 minor-league contests this season. In a corresponding move, Zach Sanford was called up from the Roadrunners.

Logan Cooley - Provides assist in loss Cooley notched an assist, two PIM and a minus-2 rating in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Sabres.
Impact Cooley hasn't found much consistency since early November -- he has seven points and a minus-14 rating over his last 17 contests. The 19-year-old center had a chance to fill in as the top-line center with Barrett Hayton (upper body) out, but he's been on the fourth line over the last couple of games. With the Coyotes rolling 11 forwards and seven defensemen, that change in role hasn't dramatically altered Cooley's usage. Overall, the rookie has 15 points, 45 shots on net and a minus-11 rating through his first 27 appearances.
DECEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Zach Sanford - Promoted to NHL Sanford was called up from AHL Tucson on Tuesday.
Impact Sanford has played in just one game for the Coyotes this season in which he recorded one assist, one hit and two PIM in 7:24 of ice time versus the Kings on Oct. 27. The 2013 second-round pick hasn't exactly been producing in the minors, notching a meager four points in 16 games for the Roadrunners.
DECEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Connor Ingram - Between pipes Tuesday Ingram will tend the twine on the road against the Penguins on Tuesday, Craig Morgan of PHNX Sports reports.
Impact Ingram takes the second game of the Yotes' back-to-back after Karel Vejmelka got the not versus Buffalo on Monday. Prior to getting the night off, Ingram played in nine straight contests in which he registered a 5-4-0 record and 2.33 GAA. At this point, Ingram appears to have supplanted Vejmleka as the preferred option in the crease.

Arizona brings losing streak into game against Pittsburgh

The Arizona Coyotes look to break a three-game losing streak with a victory against the Pittsburgh Penguins

Milos Kelemen - Chips in with assist Kelemen posted an assist in Monday's 5-2 road loss against the Sabres.
Impact Kelemen ended up with a minus-1 rating, a blocked shots and a hit in just 8:22 of ice time across 11 shifts playing on the checking line. The helper was just his second point in 23 NHL games in parts of the past two seasons. His only previous point came on April 1 last season on a goal at home against the Sharks.
DECEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Michael Kesselring - Nets first NHL goal Kesselring scored a goal in Monday's 5-2 road loss against the Sabres.
Impact Kesselring's goal was his first in the NHL in 20 career games across the past two seasons. He ended up taking two shots on goal, while posting one blocked shot and two hits in 11:07 of ice time across 19 shifts. Kesselring has picked up a goal with five points and a plus-1 rating across the past six games, and he has gone scoreless in just one of the outings during the span. He'll look to stay hot as the road trip continues Tuesday against the Penguins.
DECEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Michael Carcone - Nets shorthanded goal Carcone scored a shorthanded goal in Monday's 5-2 road loss against the Sabres.
Impact Carcone was helped out by Matias Maccelli and J.J. Moser on the shorty midway through the third period, pulling the Coyotes to within 4-2. He still ended up with a minus-1 rating with two hits in 12:15 of ice time across 16 shifts. He has been on fire in the month of December, lighting the lamp in four of his five games in December. Carcone is averaging a point per game across the past nine outings, scoring eight goals with an assist since Nov. 22, emerging as a surprisingly useful fantasy option and DFS play.
DECEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Karel Vejmelka - Allows four goals in road setback Vejmelka allowed four goals on 37 shots in Monday's 5-2 road loss against the Sabres.
Impact Vejmelka was making his first appearance since Nov. 22, but he didn't bring his 'A' game to the rink on Monday. All four of the goals he allowed were of the even-strength variety, and he has conceded exactly four goals in each of his past four starts. Vejmelka is winless in eight consecutive starts, and nine appearances, dating back to his last win on Oct. 21 against the Anaheim Ducks. Connor Ingram has excelled, and pushed Vejmelka to the back burner.

Sean Durzi - Out Monday Durzi (lower body) is unavailable for Monday's game against Buffalo, Heather Engel of NHL.com reports.
Impact Durzi was considered a game-time call and will now be absent for the second time in the last three games. The 25-year-old has 13 points in 25 games this season but has been held to one assist in his last nine appearances. Arizona will be right back in action Tuesday against the Penguins.
DECEMBER 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Sean Durzi - Game-time call Durzi (lower body) will be a game-time decision Monday versus Buffalo, according to Craig Morgan of PHNX Sports.
Impact Durzi returned from a one-game absence in Saturday's 5-3 loss to Boston, but it appears as though he isn't quite 100 percent yet. He has compiled five goals, 13 points, 44 shots on net and 53 blocked shots over 25 appearances this campaign.
DECEMBER 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Karel Vejmelka - In goal Monday Vejmelka will get the starting nod on the road against the Sabres on Monday, Heather Engel of NHL.com reports.
Impact Vejmelka will be looking to bounce back from a disappointing last outing versus the Blues in which he gave up four goals on 11 shots. The backstop has been forced to watch from the bench for seven straight games in favor of Connor Ingram but will take the first game of the Coyotes back-to-back. Meanwhile, Ingram should be between the road pipes in Pittsburgh on Tuesday.

Juuso Valimaki - Delivers helper Valimaki put up an assist in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Bruins.
Impact Valimaki helped out on a Clayton Keller goal early in the second period. This was Valimaki's first point in five games since he returned from a mouth injury. The point drought stood at 10 contests overall when accounting for his dry spell before the absence. Despite his lack of offense, the 25-year-old continues to feature on the second power-play unit, even with Janis Moser playing better hockey of late. Valimaki is at five assists, 13 shots on net, 25 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating through 20 appearances.
DECEMBER 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Matias Maccelli - Assists in consecutive outings Maccelli provided an assist, fired five shots on goal and went minus-2 in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Bruins.
Impact Maccelli found Lawson Crouse in the slot on the Coyotes' third goal. As usual, Maccelli has been a solid playmaker recently, racking up two goals and six assists over his last 10 contests. The 23-year-old winger is up to four goals, 15 helpers, 51 shots on net and a plus-5 rating through 26 outings overall. As long as he's on the second line, Maccelli should continue to provide solid secondary scoring for the Coyotes and fantasy managers.
DECEMBER 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Nick Bjugstad - Gathers helper Bjugstad recorded an assist, four shots on goal, four hits, two PIM and a minus-2 rating in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Bruins.
Impact Bjugstad helped out on a Lawson Crouse tally from in close during the third period. With seven points over his last nine games, Bjugstad is continuing to play well in a second-line role. The 31-year-old center is up to 17 points (six goals, 11 helpers), 46 shots on net, 34 hits, 19 blocked shots, 26 PIM and a plus-6 rating through 26 outings. He's not a prolific scorer, but his physical play and a scoring pace that is in line with the best of his career makes him a solid depth forward in fantasy.
DECEMBER 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jason Zucker - Hands out assist Zucker managed an assist, three shots on goal and three hits in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Bruins.
Impact Zucker was promoted to the top line for this contest with the Coyotes maintaining a seven-defensemen lineup. The 31-year-old winger has a goal and three helpers over the last three games, and he saw a season-high 18:16 of ice time Saturday. Zucker could get a bump in fantasy value if he can develop chemistry with Clayton Keller and Nick Schmaltz, especially after talented rookie Logan Cooley was bumped to the bottom six. Zucker is at nine points, 39 shots on net, 22 hits and a plus-3 rating through 19 appearances.
DECEMBER 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Clayton Keller - Nets ninth goal of 2023-24 Keller contributed a goal in a 5-3 loss to Boston on Saturday.
Impact Keller has recorded at least a point in four of his last five contests, giving him a goal and five assists over that stretch. He's up to nine markers and 25 points in 26 outings in 2023-24. Keller finished last season with 37 goals and 86 points in 82 games, so he hasn't quite matched that offensive pace, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him finish with at least 80 points for the second straight campaign.
DECEMBER 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Lawson Crouse - Collects goal in loss Crouse recorded a goal in a 5-3 loss to Boston on Saturday.
Impact Crouse's marker came early in the third period to narrow Boston's lead to 4-3, but the Coyotes weren't able to finish their comeback bid. The 26-year-old has been held off the scoresheet just once over his last four contests, giving him two goals and four points over that stretch. Through 25 games this year, Crouse has 12 goals and 17 points.
DECEMBER 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Michael Carcone - Stays red hot Carcone found the back of the net in a 5-3 loss to Boston on Saturday.
Impact Carcone is on fire, scoring seven goals and eight points over his last eight contests. That's pushed him up to 13 markers and 16 points in 25 outings this season. It won't last, though. Carcone's shooting percentage has climbed to 34.2, which is by far the highest of anyone who has taken at least 30 shots -- next is Nils Hoglander with a 27.3 shooting percentage.
DECEMBER 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Connor Ingram - Can't contain Bruins Ingram kicked out 24 of 29 shots in a 5-3 loss to Boston on Friday.
Impact Ingram also surrendered four markers in a 4-1 loss to Philadelphia on Thursday, making this just the second time in 2023-24 that the 26-year-old goaltender has allowed at least three goals in two straight appearances (the other instance occurred from Nov. 7-11). He's 11-5-0 with a 2.52 GAA and a .920 save percentage in 17 outings this year. While Ingram is working through a rough patch, he's been fairly consistent this campaign, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him rebound soon. Arizona's road trip will continue with games in Buffalo and Pittsburgh on Monday and Tuesday, respectively, and Ingram will likely start in one of those two contests.
