Logan Cooley - Snags assist Cooley recorded a power-play assist in Monday's 2-1 loss to the Rangers.
Impact Cooley is up to three helpers through two contests, though all of his production has come with the man advantage so far. The 19-year-old center has added three shots on goal and two PIM while centering the second line. Cooley will likely continue to be involved on offense if he remains on the first power-play unit, but he'll need to get his even-strength play going to sustain his early pace.

Nick Schmaltz - Offers power-play assist Schmaltz logged a power-play assist in Monday's 2-1 loss to the Rangers.
Impact Schmaltz set up Clayton Keller's second-period tally. Through two games, Schmaltz has picked up right where he left off last season, collecting three points, including two on the power play. He's added two shots on goal and a minus-1 rating. Playing on Keller's line and the first power-play unit should continue to give Schmaltz a path to solid fantasy value in formats that reward offense.

Barrett Hayton - Touches off late-game fracas Hayton didn't score in Monday's 2-1 road loss against the Rangers, but he logged 12 PIM.
Impact Hayton went after Ryan Lindgren of the Rangers with a cross-check, touching off a brawl at the horn to close the game. Things were already testy with 18 PIM before the melee, but Hayton ended up with a game misconduct in addition to his minor, and when the dust cleared, eight players from both teams picked up a combined 66 PIM.

Clayton Keller - Tickles twine on power play Keller scored a power-play goal in Monday's 2-1 road loss against the Rangers.
Impact Keller's marker at 5:00 of the second period, with helpers from Nick Schmaltz and Logan Cooley, leveled the score at 1-1. That's how things stayed until midway through the third period, but neither Keller nor the rest of the Coyotes could cobble together any additional offense. Keller has a goal and three points through two games, and he'll look to get on the stat sheet again Tuesday against the Islanders.

Connor Ingram - Suffers hard-luck road loss Ingram conceded just two goals on 28 shots in Monday's 2-1 road loss against the Rangers.
Impact Ingram did a great job holding down the high-octane Blueshirts offense. He allowed a goal to Chris Kreider at 14:11 of the first period, but Clayton Keller scored on the power play to level things early in the second. The game was tied until Vincent Trocheck scored a power-play goal midway through the third. Ingram gave his team a chance, and he could be a sneaky fantasy play if Karel Vejmelka is ever befallen by injury.

Nick Bjugstad - Logs plenty of penalty minutes Bjugstad was scoreless with 12 PIM in Monday's 2-1 road loss against the Rangers.
Impact The Minnesota native posted two shots on goal with a blocked shot, a hit and 12 PIM, including a roughing penalty and a game misconduct in the third period. Bjugstad has been blanked through two games with just six shots, but at least he has rolled up 16 PIM. He and his teammates are right back at it Tuesday against the Islanders.

Karel Vejmelka - Starting Tuesday Vejmelka will guard the road goal Tuesday against the Islanders, according to Craig Morgan of PHNX Sports.
Impact Vejmelka stopped 33 of 36 shots in Friday's 4-3 shootout win over New Jersey to begin the 2023-24 season. He will get the second half of Arizona's back-to-back after Connor Ingram plays Monday versus the Rangers.

Connor Ingram - Starting against Rangers Ingram will defend the road net Monday versus the Rangers, Craig Morgan of PHNX Sports reports.
Impact Ingram posted a 6-13-8 record last season with a 3.37 GAA and a .907 save percentage in 27 appearances. Coach Andre Tourigny said Sunday that Karel Vejmelka will play in the second half of Arizona's back-to-back against the Islanders on Tuesday.

Coyotes visit the Rangers after shootout victory

Karel Vejmelka - Rock solid in opener victory Vejmelka kicked aside 33 of the 36 shots he faced in Friday's 4-3 shootout win against the Devils.
Impact The 27-year-old Czech tendy was staked to a 2-0 lead early in the second period, but he was beaten for three straight goals in a 10-plus minute span to fall behind. Nick Schmaltz bailed him out with a power-play goal in the third, and Vejmelka stopped both Timo Meier and Jesper Bratt in the shootout to rebound for the win.

Sean Durzi - Notched power-play goal in debut Durzi potted a power-play goal in Friday's 4-3 shootout victory against the Devils.
Impact Durzi was a busy beaver in his team debut, leading the Arizona rearguards with three shots on goal, while also taking a minor penalty in his 23:26 of ice time. He has already equaled his power-play goal total of a season ago with the Los Angeles Kings. The 24-year-old should have a lot more responsibilities along the Arizona blue line than he did in L.A.
OCTOBER 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Matt Dumba - Scores goal in team debut Dumba opened the scoring in Friday's 4-3 shootout victory against the Devils.
Impact The veteran rearguard potted his first goal just 6:22 into his tenure with his new organization, with helpers to Clayton Keller and Nick Schmaltz. He ended up with a shot on goal, two blocked shots and a hit in 23:42 of ice time, the most playing time of any of the Arizona defensemen.
OCTOBER 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Nick Schmaltz - Contributes much in opening win Schmaltz posted a power-play goal with an assist in Friday's 4-3 shootout victory against the Devils.
Impact Schmaltz led all forwards with 21:27 of ice time, and he posted a pair of shots while winning one of his three faceoff attempts. He was also the difference maker in the shootout, beating Akira Schmid in the second round of the extra session.
OCTOBER 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Logan Cooley - Good for two helpers in debut Cooley racked up two assists in his NHL debut in a 4-3 shootout win against the Devils on Friday.
Impact The Coyotes selected Cooley with the third overall pick in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft, and the 19-year-old from Pittsburgh is already starting to pay big dividends. He also had two PIM with two shots on goal, and both of the helpers came on the man advantage. If he can stay on the power play, and continue to contribute, fantasy managers might want to stash him away, especially in dynasty formats.
OCTOBER 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Clayton Keller - Chips in with two helpers Keller posted two assists and two shots on goal in Friday's 4-3 shootout road victory against the Devils.
Impact Keller ended up with 20:55 of ice time, second-most among the Arizona forwards. He had primary assist on Matt Dumba's goal at 6:22 of the first period, and he chipped in with the primary apple on Sean Durzi's power-play goal at 4:23 of the second. It's hard to believe, but he is still just 25 years old. Keller is off to a strong start for his seventh full NHL campaign.
