Jack McBain - Logs helper in lossMcBain posted an assist and six hits in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Stars.
ImpactMcBain snapped a four-game point drought when he set up a John Leonard tally in the third period. The 24-year-old McBain has struggled to get out of a fourth-line role, though his heavy playing style is suited to bottom-six usage. He's produced 20 points, 43 shots on net, 151 hits, 41 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 54 outings this season.

Dylan Guenther - Generates assist in lossGuenther notched an assist in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Stars.
ImpactGuenther helped out on John Leonard's third-period tally. This was Guenther's fourth point over the last five games. The winger is up to 10 goals, 11 assists, 75 shots on net and an even plus-minus rating through 32 appearances, a step up from the 15 points in 33 contests he had as a rookie a year ago. Guenther should continue to see middle-six minutes and power-play usage for the remainder of the season.

Nick Schmaltz - Reaches 30-assist markSchmaltz logged an assist in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Stars.
ImpactSchmaltz continued his strong March by helping out on a Clayton Keller tally in the first period. That assist gave Schmaltz 14 points through 10 outings in March. The 28-year-old is up to 19 goals, 30 helpers, 135 shots on net, 39 blocked shots and a minus-20 rating through 66 appearances overall, primarily in a top-line role.

Nick Bjugstad - Gathers helper in lossBjugstad recorded an assist and two PIM in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Stars.
ImpactBjugstad was considered day-to-day earlier in the week, but he was able to avoid missing time with an undisclosed injury he sustained Saturday versus the Devils. The 31-year-old led all Coyotes forwards with 17:48 of ice time while centering the top line. He's had a strong season with 38 points over 68 appearances, including seven points through nine outings in March.

John Leonard - Gets first goal with ArizonaLeonard scored a goal in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Stars.
ImpactLeonard picked up his first goal and point as a Coyote with his third-period tally. He's added five shots on net and three blocked shots while seeing time in a fourth-line role during Barrett Hayton's (lower body) absence. Barring a move to a scoring line, Leonard offers little fantasy upside for a team that has struggled to show consistency on offense.

Clayton Keller - Opens scoring in lossKeller scored a goal on two shots in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Stars.
ImpactKeller tallied late in the first period to open the scoring, but the Coyotes didn't build on that in the second period. The winger has six goals and two assists over his last eight contests. For the season, he's at 60 points, 190 shots on net and a minus-21 rating in a top-line role. Keller continues to offer strong offense and power-play production for fantasy managers who can offset his plus-minus.
