Impact In a corresponding move, Jan Jenik was returned to the minors. McCartney hasn't picked up a point in five AHL contests this campaign. He will probably occupy a depth spot on the Coyotes' roster during his recall.

36-41-5 · 7TH IN WEST, CENTRAL
Ben McCartney - Summoned from AHL McCartney was recalled from AHL Tucson on Saturday.
Liam O'Brien - Plucks apple in loss O'Brien notched an assist, four hits, two shots on goal and two PIM in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Kings.
Impact The helper was O'Brien's first point in seven outings this season. The 29-year-old enforcer has been a fixture on the fourth line, eclipsing 10 minutes of ice time in just two contests so far. He's racked up 16 hits, 27 PIM, six shots on net and a minus-1 rating. Outside of incredibly deep formats that reward the tough stuff, O'Brien is a non-factor in fantasy.
OCTOBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Troy Stecher - Records first helper Stecher posted an assist in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Kings.
Impact Stecher earned his first assist in five appearances this season, helping out on a Jack McBain tally. While he's no lock for an everyday role, Stecher is likely to stay in the lineup more often than Josh Brown. Stecher has generated a minus-1 rating, six shots on net, four blocked shots, three hits and two PIM this season.
OCTOBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Zach Sanford - Snags assist in limited role Sanford logged an assist and two PIM in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Kings.
Impact Sanford saw just 7:24 of ice time while filling in for Lawson Crouse (illness) in this game. This was Sanford's first game of the season, but he's unlikely to see much playing time when the Coyotes are at full health. The 28-year-old winger has shuffled to and from AHL Tucson frequently when the Coyotes have a game-time decision.
OCTOBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Nick Bjugstad - Notches helper in loss Bjugstad recorded an assist and two hits in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Kings.
Impact Bjugstad has earned three points (two goals, one helper) over his last four games. That's all of his offense through seven contests, though he's also added some grit with eight hits, 18 PIM and six blocked shots. The 31-year-old has filled a middle-six role up the middle so far. He'll likely have to continue playing well to fend off Jack McBain's challenge for playing time.
OCTOBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Nick Schmaltz - Deals helper Friday Schmaltz posted an assist, three shots on goal, two blocked shots and two PIM in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Kings.
Impact Schmaltz continues to make plays on the top line. He set up Janis Moser's first-period tally Friday. Schmaltz has two goals, six assists, 16 shots on net and a minus-2 rating through seven contests this season. He's flirted with a point-per-game pace over the last couple of campaigns, but staying healthy will be the biggest key to his long-term success.
OCTOBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Clayton Keller - Collects assist in loss Keller notched an assist, three shots on goal and two PIM in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Kings.
Impact Keller helped out on a Janis Moser tally in the first period. The helper extended Keller's point streak to four games (three goals, two assists). The star winger is up to eight points, 25 shots, eight PIM and a minus-2 rating while playing in a top-line role. Three of his eight points have come on the power play.
OCTOBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jack McBain - Scores again Friday McBain scored a goal, levied five hits and added two PIM in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Kings.
Impact McBain has tallied in each of the last two games to shake off a five-game skid at the start of the season. The physical center has added 20 hits, six shots on net, two PIM and an even plus-minus rating through seven appearances. McBain saw 15:13 of ice time Friday, his second game over the 15-minute mark. A strong run of play could help him displace Nick Bjugstad from a middle-six role.
OCTOBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Sean Durzi - Tallies in loss Durzi scored a goal on two shots, blocked three shots and went plus-2 in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Kings.
Impact Durzi's goal put the Coyotes ahead 4-1, but they couldn't hold the lead. The 25-year-old defenseman has provided plenty of scoring pop from the blue line with three goals and two assists over seven contests. His goal Friday was his first at even strength this season. He's also racked up 12 blocked shots, 18 shots on net and a plus-5 rating.
OCTOBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Matias Maccelli - Scores early in loss Maccelli scored a goal on three shots in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Kings.
Impact Maccelli opened the scoring just 37 seconds into the game. The winger has gotten on the scoresheet in four straight contests after opening the season with three scoreless efforts. He's picked up a goal, four assists, 13 shots on net and a plus-1 rating over seven outings overall. Maccelli continues to work on the second line and second power-play unit, providing some depth scoring for a young Coyotes team.
OCTOBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
J.J. Moser - Two-point effort in loss Moser scored a goal, dished an assist, added two hits and went plus-2 in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Kings.
Impact Moser helped out on a Matias Maccelli goal in the first minute and scored one of his own later in the first period. The additions of Sean Durzi and Matt Dumba have left Moser to handle more defensive responsibilities in the early going. The 23-year-old blueliner has two points, five shots on net, eight hits, seven blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through seven contests.
OCTOBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Karel Vejmelka - Squanders early lead Vejmelka allowed five goals on 41 shots in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Kings.
Impact Vejmelka was given a 4-1 lead to protect by the middle of the first period. The Kings took their time to break through but then tallied four times over the last 24 minutes of the contest to get the comeback win. Vejmelka had allowed just four goals total over his last three appearances. The 27-year-old has given up 12 goals on 162 shots while going 2-3-0 in five outings. The Coyotes' defense hasn't been very good at limiting shots, but Vejmelka has proven steady between the pipes. He's alternated starts with Connor Ingram this season, so Vejmelka may be on the bench to start Monday's game versus the Blackhawks.

Lawson Crouse - Game-time decision Crouse is under the weather and will be a game-time call against the Kings on Friday, Craig Morgan of PHNX Sports reports.
Impact Crouse has struggled offensively to open the season with just one point through six games. The winger has been getting decent power-play opportunities, averaging 2:04 of ice time with the man advantage. Despite that role, it hasn't translated into points for the Ontario native. If Crouse does miss out Friday, Zach Sanford will likely step into the lineup in his stead.
