Nick Schmaltz Last Minute Drop From Lineup for Arizona
4 years agoArizona Coyotes center Nick Schmaltz was deemed "unfit to play" and will miss the start of the series against Nashville. This is a hit to Arizona's offensive attack as Schmaltz led all Arizona skaters with 45 points in the regular season. With the lineup being turned over with Schmaltz being out, Barrett Hayton will draw into the lineup alongside Conor Garland and Michael Grabner. There is no news at the moment about how long Schmaltz will be out of the lineup, but in the meantime, it means a drop in value for all Arizona forwards outside of their top line of Taylor Hall, Phil Kessel, and Christian Dvorak.
