Galchenyuk entered the league's COVID-19 protocols Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Galchenyuk won't be an option for Friday's clash with the Ducks after being landing in the league's protocols. With Lawson Crouse and Jay Beagle also in the protocols, the team will need to call up a player or two from the minors in order to fill out their lineup before puck drop Friday.

Galchenyuk produced an assist in Thursday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

Galchenyuk set up Ryan Dzingel for the opening tally at 5:59 of the first period. The 27-year-old Galchenyuk has points in each of the last two games, accounting for all of his offense through four appearances. He's seen top-six usage since returning from an upper-body injury last Friday.

Galchenyuk recorded a power-play assist and two PIM in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Blues.

EDGE Analysis

Galchenyuk earned the secondary helper on Kyle Capobianco's first-period tally. The assist was Galchenyuk's first point of the year in his third game. The 27-year-old missed nearly a month with an upper-body injury. He'll likely play in a middle-six role most of the time, though the Coyotes have more or less made most of their forward lines interchangeable this season.

Galchenyuk (upper body) will make his season debut in Friday's game against Chicago, Arizona Coyotes Insider Craig Morgan reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old has yet to suit up this season due to the injury suffered in training camp. Galchenyuk produced 12 points in 26 games with the Maple Leafs last year and will embark on his second stint with the Coyotes after his 41-point campaign with them back in 2018-19.

Galchenyuk (upper body) is still considered week-to-week but has begun skating on his own, Arizona Coyotes Insider Craig Morgan reports.

EDGE Analysis

This is a positive step for Galchenyuk's recovery but it sounds like he'll still miss at least a few more games. The 27-year-old should fill a middle-six role once he's ready to return.

Galchenyuk is considered week-to-week with an upper-body injury and was placed on injured reserve Monday, Arizona Coyotes Insider Craig Morgan reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Galchenyuk set to miss extended time, the 36-year-old Loui Eriksson may get a long look in the Coyotes' top six to start the season. Once healthy, Galchenyuk, who picked up five goals and 13 points in 34 games split between the Maple Leafs and the Senators last year, should return to a spot on one of Arizona's top-two lines.

Galchenyuk (upper body) is considered week-to-week, Arizona Coyotes Insider Craig Morgan reports.

EDGE Analysis

Galchenyuk just landed a one-year deal with Arizona on Oct. 5 and will now almost certainly miss Opening Night. The 27-year-old forward scored 12 points in 26 games with the Maple Leafs last season. Once healthy, Galchenyuk will either be a regular scratch or stuck in a bottom-six role.

Galchenyuk signed a one-year, $750,000 contract with the Coyotes on Tuesday, Darren Dreger of TSN reports.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran forward has played with four teams in the last two seasons after his previous one-year stint with Arizona ended. Galchenyuk will at least provide a veteran presence to a rebuilding Coyotes team. He logged 13 points, 44 hits and 62 shots on goal in 34 contests between the Senators and the Maple Leafs last year. The Wisconsin native could see a middle-six role given the lack of forward depth the Coyotes have in 2021-22.

Galchenyuk signed a professional tryout offer with the Coyotes on Tuesday, Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Galchenyuk drew into 34 games split between the Senators and the Maple Leafs last season, picking up five goals and 13 points over that span. The 27-year-old winger should have a pretty good chance of securing a contract with a Coyotes club that's pretty thin up front.

Galchenyuk recorded an assist, two shots on goal and four hits in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Canadiens in Game 5.

EDGE Analysis

Galchenyuk's shot attempt was tipped in by Jake Muzzin for the game-tying goal at 11:54 of the third period. While he was able to contribute to the Maple Leafs' offense, Galchenyuk also helped the Canadiens in overtime. A misplaced pass led to Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield rushing the other way on a 2-on-0, with Suzuki scoring to keep the Canadiens in the series. Galchenyuk has produced four points, four shots, six hits and a plus-2 rating through four playoff appearances.
