Stepan missed practice Wednesday due to having his wisdom teeth extracted, but head coach Alain Vigneault indicated that he "should be fine for tomorrow (Thursday)" against the Coyotes.

EDGE Analysis

Assuming nothing unforeseen happens during the minor procedure, it seems highly unlikely Stepan will miss Thursday's contest. Emerson Etem took his place on the top line during Wednesday's practice, and would draw into the lineup should Stepan be forced out.
