Schmaltz is day-to-day with an upper-body injury; not expected to play Thursday.

Schmaltz played through the injury in the Florida game but is not expected to play Thursday in Tampa according to head coach André Tourigny. The Coyotes are extremely banged up right now, so Barrett Hayton has been recalled from the AHL to take Schmaltz's places.

Schmaltz (head) is expected to miss the final two games of the season.

Schmaltz was struck in the head by a puck in warmups on Saturday and has missed the last two games. Schmaltz did not travel to San Jose, so it looks like he'll miss the final two games of the 2021 season. The Coyotes are pretty much out of the playoff hunt, so we likely won't see Schmaltz until the 2021-22 season.
