Hjalmarsson (upper body) won't play in Sunday's game versus the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
Hjalmarsson is considered day-to-day, so he could be back in action as soon as Tuesday's rematch against the Wild. Ilya Lyubushkin is expected to take Hjalmarsson's place in the lineup for now.

Hjalmarsson registered a pair of assists in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
Hjalmarsson recorded a two-assist outing for the first time since Feb. 12, 2019. The Swedish blueliner has been unusually engaged on offense with four helpers in his last four games. That accounts for all of his offense in 22 appearances, and he's added 30 blocked shots and 16 shots on net with an even plus-minus rating.

Hjalmarsson produced an assist in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
Hjalmarsson picked up the second helper on Clayton Keller's lone tally for the Coyotes in the third period. The 33-year-old Hjalmarsson has two assists, 30 blocked shots, 12 PIM and a minus-2 rating in 21 games. He's strictly a defensive presence and doesn't need to be monitored in fantasy.

Hjalmarsson notched an assist, three blocked shots and two shots on goal in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
Hjalmarsson set up Clayton Keller for a goal in the second period. The helper is Hjalmarsson's first point of the season. The Swedish blueliner has added 27 blocks, 16 shots on net, 12 PIM and a minus-1 rating in 19 contests. With a near-total lack of offense, HJalmarsson isn't doing enough to be rostered in fantasy.

Hjalmarsson (upper body) posted two shots on goal and two PIM in 14:44 during Thursday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Hjalmarsson missed two games with the injury, and he returned to a reduced role on the third pairing. With the Coyotes' defense finally at full health, Hjalmarsson, Jason Demers, Jordan Oesterle and Ilya Lyubushkin will probably be in competition for three spots in the lineup. A steady defender, Hjalmarsson has no points, 20 blocked shots and eight PIM through 14 appearances, so there's not much here from a fantasy standpoint.

Hjalmarsson (upper body) will be in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Kings, Alexander Kinkopf of the Coyotes' official website reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 33-year-old will return to the lineup Thursday after missing the past two games with the upper-body issue. Hjalmarsson has yet to earn a point this season, but he's racked up seven hits and 19 blocks in 13 games this year. Hjalmarsson will enter the lineup on the third defensive pair, replacing Ilya Lyubushkin.

According to coach Rick Tocchet, Hjalmarsson (upper body) "is a good possibility" for Thursday's game against the Kings, Alexander Kinkopf of the Coyotes' official website reports.
EDGE Analysis
Another update on Hjalmarsson's status should surface following Thursday's morning skate. The 33-year-old blueliner has gone scoreless through 13 games this campaign, but he's racked up 19 blocked shots over that span.

Hjalmarsson (upper body) will be sidelined for Monday's clash with St. Louis, Arizona Coyotes Insider Craig Morgan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hjalmarsson has yet to register a point in 13 games this season. Given his lack of offensive upside these days, fantasy players are unlikely to be impacted by the 33-year-old blueliner's absence. Once cleared to play, Hjalmarsson will likely bump Jason Demers from the lineup.

Hjalmarsson (upper body) won't play in Saturday's game versus the Blues, Arizona Coyotes Insider Craig Morgan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hjalmarsson exited Friday's game with an upper-body injury, and in addition to Saturday's game, he's expected to miss Monday's game against the Blues as well. Jason Demers will enter the defensive rotation in Hjalmarsson's place for the time being.
