Logan Cooley - Helps out on power playCooley recorded a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Blues.

ImpactCooley is still searching for his first goal, but his playmaking has been on display with four helpers in as many contests. The rookie center has added five shots on net, four blocked shots and two PIM while working on the center line. All of his assists have come with the man advantage, helping the Coyotes to rank third in the league with a 31.6 percent conversion rate on the power play so far.

Michael Carcone - Lights lamp ThursdayCarcone scored a goal on four shots in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Blues.

ImpactCarcone's second-period tally stood as the game-winner. He's played in three of the Coyotes' four games so far, adding four shots, four hits and two PIM in a bottom-six role. He'll likely be one of the depth forwards competing for playing time throughout the year, primarily with Liam O'Brien and Travis Boyd as competition.

Matias Maccelli - Grabs two power-play helpersMaccelli tallied a pair of assists in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Blues.

ImpactMaccelli picked up both of his assists on the power play, setting up Nick Bjugstad in the opening period and Jason Zucker in the third. The 23-year-old winger showed some playmaking potential last season, tallying 11 goals and 38 assists in 64 games. Maccelli could be a potential sleeper this year -- he's skating on the second line with promising rookie Logan Cooley and Jason Zucker, who's coming off a 27-goal campaign. Maccelli's also averaged 2:05 of ice time on the power play through Arizona's first four games.

Nick Bjugstad - Tallies first of the seasonBjugstad scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 6-2 win over St. Louis.

ImpactBjugstad opened the scoring late in the first period with a power-play goal, his first of the season. The 31-year-old Bjugstad signed a two-year deal with Arizona after he tallied 17 goals and 29 points across 78 games between the Coyotes and Oilers last season. While the veteran center is expected to primarily fill a bottom-six role this year, he's also averaged 2:29 of power-play time through his first four games.

Jake Neighbours - Skating on fourth lineNeighbours recorded two hits, a shot on goal and a minus-1 rating in Thursday's 6-2 loss to the Coyotes.

ImpactNeighbours has been skating in the bottom six, as he has averaged 12:54 of ice time per game through three outings. He has fired just two shots on net in that stretch. The 2020 first-round pick is still developing and spent a majority of his time with the big club last year, recording six goals, four assists and 53 shots on net through 43 games. Neighbours won't have much fantasy utility until he climbs the depth chart, though.
