Nick Bjugstad's Season In Jeopardy
8 months agoArizona Coyotes forward Nick Bjugstad (undisclosed) may not return again this season, as he has returned to Arizona from the team's current road trip. He is expected to be sidelined longer than day to day, and head coach Andre Tourigny said, "It's a little bit longer than that." Rushing the veteran back to action makes little sense at this point since the Coyotes will miss the postseason for the 10th time over the last 11 seasons, only entering via the qualifying round in the COVID-shortened 2019-20 season in that time. For the season, Bjugstad has tallied a solid 22 goals and 45 points while earning a career-high 17:27 of ice time per game across 76 contests.
