Ladd (knee) announced the end of his playing career Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Ladd didn't play at all during the 2022-23 campaign due to a knee injury. The 37-year-old forward produced 256 goals and 550 points in 1,001 career NHL games across 16 seasons. Ladd won the Stanley Cup with the Hurricanes in 2006 and with the Blackhawks in 2010.

Ladd (knee) failed his physical Thursday and will be placed on long-term injured reserve, Craig Morgan of PHNX Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ladd's thrice surgically-repaired knee is evidently still an issue, and it appears as though he may be in danger of missing the entirety of the 2022-23 campaign. Ladd's in the last season of his seven-year, $38.5 million deal, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him formally retire after this campaign.

Ladd (lower body) posted 12 points, 68 hits, 57 shots on goal and 47 PIM in 51 contests this season.

EDGE Analysis

Ladd was considered essentially out of the NHL prior to the campaign, but he earned his place with the Coyotes as a veteran presence. While the offensive numbers weren't all that great, he was able to play in his 1,000th game in April before missing the final four contests. He's under contract for one more year on the deal he signed with the Islanders in 2016, so the 36-year-old will probably continue in a bottom-six role in 2022-23 if he continues his playing career.

Ladd (lower body) won't play Saturday versus the Blues.

EDGE Analysis

Ladd joins a long list of injuries for the Coyotes. The team designated him as day-to-day, so he'll still have a chance to return as soon as Tuesday versus the Wild. Jan Jenik will likely enter the lineup in place of Ladd.

Ladd logged an assist and two shots on goal in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

With his appearance Wednesday, Ladd reached 1,000 games played -- a mark that looked nearly impossible after he played just a combined 30 NHL contests across the three previous seasons. He celebrated the occasion against one of his former teams and picked up an assist to give him 550 career points. His first year with the Coyotes has been solid for a player limited to bottom-six minutes. Ladd has 12 points, 56 shots on net, 67 hits and 47 PIM through 50 outings this season.

Ladd recorded an assist and went minus-2 in Monday's 5-3 loss to the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

Ladd has picked up two points in seven games since he returned from a lower-body injury. The 36-year-old has enjoyed a solid campaign in his first year with the Coyotes, posting 11 points, 54 shots, 66 hits, 47 PIM and a minus-19 rating in 49 contests. He's moved around the lineup frequently, averaging 14:01 of ice time per game.

Ladd scored a power-play goal in Thursday's 7-1 loss to the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

Ladd was a game-time decision heading into the contest, and Jose M. Romero of The Arizona Republic reports the winger was receiving treatment after the contest, though he's expected to be fine. The 36-year-old Ladd has done alright in a bottom-six role through 47 games, picking up seven goals, three assists, 54 shots on net, 66 hits and 47 PIM this season. If he continues to be bothered by nagging injuries, he could be a healthy scratch at times in the final two weeks of the campaign.

Ladd (undisclosed) will play Thursday versus the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

Ladd was deemed a game-time decision, but apparently the injury he was dealing with won't keep him out of the lineup. The 36-year-old should see some power-play time while logging bottom-six minutes at even strength.

Ladd (undisclosed) is a game-time decision for Thursday's clash with Vancouver, Jose M. Romero of The Arizona Republic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ladd may have suffered a minor injury Tuesday against the Devils as he logged just 11:14 of ice time. If he's unable to go, it's unclear who would take his spot in the lineup as the Coyotes are dealing with a litany of injured forwards. The 36-year-old has just nine points in 46 games this season.

Ladd (lower body) is set to play Thursday versus the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

It appears Ladd's absence Monday versus the Blues was simply load management for a lower-body injury that cost him over a month. The 36-year-old winger will play in a bottom-six role.
