Erat appears on track to be a healthy scratch Tuesday against the Blackhawks, the second straight game he'll head to the press box, Sarah McLellan of the Arizona Republic reports. Erat closed 2014 on a high note but has seen his production dry up in seven January contests, delivering no goals, two assists, and just three shot attempts. The 33-year-old doesn't fit the profile of somebody the rebuilding Coyotes want to carve out ice time for, so it wouldn't be surprising if he was traded prior to the deadline.
