This is a massive blow to the Coyotes, who are currently clinging to the final playoff spot in the West Division. Garland is currently tied for second on the team with 32 points (10G / 22A) in 45 games.

Garland was banged up on Monday and left Tuesday's practice early and is not expected to play tonight vs. the Wild. With Garland out, John Hayden replaced him on a line with Christian Dvorak and Lawson Crouse.





Blueger has missed the last 13 games with an upper-body injury but could return Sunday in New Jersey. If Blueger can play, look for Mark Jankowski to sit.






DeBrusk missed the last six games with COVID-19 but will replace Anders Bjork in the lineup on Monday. DeBrusk, who has just seven points (3G / 4A) in 21 games this season, will skate on the third line with Charlie Coyle and Zachary Senyshyn.




After a rocky start to the season, Demko has settled in as one of the best goalies in the NHL. In the month of March, Demko was tied for third in the NHL in wins (8), eighth in SV% (.937) and tied for 11th in GAA (2.15). Demko has proven he is the goaltender of the future in Vancouver and earned a nice five-year extension, which kicks in next year.
