Ilya Lyubushkin Set For Season Debut On Thursday
4 years agoArizona Coyotes defenseman Ilya Lyubushkin will log his first minutes of the season on Thursday against the Blues after finally getting his visa issues sorted out. Forward Michael Chaput is set for his season debut as well. Neither player has fantasy value unless you are looking for hits, as Lyubushkin delivered plenty of those last season with 151 in 51 games. He also had 53 blocks and 18 penalty minutes with four points and a plus-four rating. Jordan Gross has been assigned to the taxi squad to make room for Lyubushkin, who made five outings for Lokomotiv Yaroslavl in the KHL earlier in the season.
