3 years agoArizona Coyotes forward Nick Schmaltz (upper body) will miss a fourth consecutive game on Tuesday at Philadelphia, and now has a potential return date. The 25-year-old is expected to miss three to four more weeks, at a minimum. Schmaltz has picked up just one point this season, but he is among Arizona's most talented forwards, and his absence is another blow for a team that has had a miserable start to the season. Barrett Hayton has taken over as the first-line center since Schmaltz dropped out of the lineup, and Johan Larsson is centering the second line. Neither has managed to help the team's offense get going. Arizona's goals for average stands at 1.44.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
