Injury Report: Coyotes Can't have Nice Things: Stepan Out 4-6 Weeks (UPD: Could return 3/24 or 3/25)

[lanky]

The Richardson line stays together and I'd like to see the Keller - Stepan - Panik line together again. That leaves; Crouse, Galchenyuk, Dvorak, Garland, Fischer, Kempe, Archibald and Cousins.

Keller - Stepan - Panik
Galchenyuk - Dvorak - Garland
Hinnistroza - Richardson - Grabner
Crouse - Cousins - Fischer

Yes plz!

This is the correct lineup.

This is the correct lineup.

Might be the correct one but will RT use it? the world may never know

I can see how you end up with this lines, but Archibald has IMHO been very sticky, and contributed more with his ice-time than, say, Fischer.

I'm not necessarily saying that Fischer is penciled in, just that's what I'd like to see but Archibald will probably be in there in his place if he doesn't pick it up.

Is there any chance Schmaltz will be back soon?

If we make it, I suspect we'll see a steady diet of the sticky players in an actual 7 game series. For consistency if nothing else. Fischer right now just can't be relied on.
Garland could go either way.

For all the carping from Tampa fans last night about how "boring" we are or whatever the Coyotes out-chanced and out high danger chanced the lightning.
Pretty easily even and before the garbage time too. Tampa just couldn't consistently move the puck for a period and a half. It was a them problem.
Sit back and Tip teams don't out chance the other guys, they go like the Blackhawks series went back the day with a counter attack only offense.

BUT Tocchet will be super conservative with personnel choices in a playoff series of that I have no doubt. At least until it's out of hand.

I'll buy that lineup even without a biz20 promo code. Swap out schmaltz for panik and have panik take Fischer's spot and it looks even better.

I don't know. In the heavy playoff games Garland needs a big on the other wing to protect him. For lack of better, I would pair Garland with Crouse and hope they make each other better.
