Chychrun (ankle/wrist) has no timeline for his return to the ice.

Chychrun had to have bone spurs removed from his ankle this summer, in addition to wrist surgery. When he met with reporters on Thursday, he said there's no timeline for him to return to the ice, so it seems as if he's in danger of missing the start of the 2022-23 season.

Chychrun (lower-body) will undergo an MRI on Monday and will not play in Ottawa.

Chychrun suffered a lower-body injury in Saturday's loss in Boston and was sent back to Arizona to be evaluated. Chychrun is one of the biggest pieces that could be moved at the trade deadline, so teams around the league will be monitoring his health closely.

Chychrun (COVID-19 protocol) will be a game-time decision on Wednesday.

Chychrun has not played since December 10th, as he's been sidelined by an upper-body injury and COVID-19 protocol. Head coach Andre Tourigny said that one of Chychrun or Kyle Capobianco will be back in the lineup on Wednesday but that both are game-time decisions.

Chychrun (hip) will not play Monday but is "close" to returning to the Coyotes lineup.

Chychrun will miss his seventh consecutive game on Monday but it seems likely that he could be available for Thursday's crucial matchup with the Canucks. With Chychrun out, Oliver Ekman-Larsson is playing 24:31 ATOI and Jordan Oesterle has seen a massive uptick to 19:41 ATOI.

Chychrun is week-to-week with a hip injury.

Chychrun missed the last two games with a hip injury that he suffered in Dallas last Wednesday. GM John Chayka met with the media on Monday and listed the young defenseman as week-to-week, which leaves a huge hole on their blueline as they try to lock-up a playoff spot in the Western Conference. So long as Chychrun is out, look for Aaron Ness to remain with the Coyotes.

Chychrun (lower-body) did not travel on the Coyotes three-game road-trip.

The injuries continue to pile-up for Arizona, who are without Chychrun, Oliver Ekman-Larsson and Jason Demers on the blueline as they head to San Jose. “He tweaked something and we just want to nip it in the bud,” head coach Rick Tocchet told reporters.
