Coghlan is projected to be scratched Wednesday against Columbus.

EDGE Analysis

Coghlan did leave Carolina's preseason game against Buffalo on Oct. 4 with a lower-body injury, but his expected absence Wednesday appears to be a coach's decision. Coghlan has been practicing and remained on the ice with the scratches after Wednesday's morning skate. He had three goals and 13 points in 59 games with Vegas in 2021-22.
