Jakob Chychrun, Nick Schmaltz Back For Coyotes Monday
2 years agoArizona Coyotes defenseman Jakob Chychrun (wrist) and forward Nick Schmaltz (ribs) will make their long-awaited comebacks in Monday's matchup against Nashville. The latter hasn't played since the season opener, while Chychrun makes his first appearance since March 12. The talented blue-liner has had ankle and wrist surgeries since his last appearance. These are two massive pieces for the Coyotes, although it's unknown for how long. Chychrun has been in the rumor mill for a long time and looks certain to switch teams soon. Joining a better team will definitely provide a big boost to his fantasy value, although the 24-year-old has previously shown that he can also be a valuable asset whilst staying in the desert, leading all defensemen with 18 goals a couple of seasons back. Schmaltz might draw some trade interest as well after proving himself as a reliable scorer in Arizona. He has averaged 0.74 points per game in 203 outings for the team.
