Chychrun was spotted at the Coyotes' practice facility recently, rehabbing his ankle injury, per Craig Morgan of PHNX Sports.
EDGE Analysis
Arizona general manager Bill Armstrong expects Chychrun to report for training camp, which starts Sept. 21. The 24-year-old defenseman sat out the final 24 games of the 2021-22 campaign due to an ankle injury. The Coyotes will get a better understanding of his status during camp once physicals and fitness testing begin. Chychrun has been the subject of plenty of trade rumors and that is likely to continue going into this year.

Chychrun (ankle) won't play again this season according to general manager Bill Armstrong, Arizona Coyotes Insider Craig Morgan reports Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Chychrun has already been on the shelf for the team's last 18 contests due to his ankle problem, so this latest news shouldn't come as a surprise. Assuming the 24-year-old blueliner is cleared to return in full ahead of the 2022-23 campaign, he will no doubt be eager to improve on the 21 points he put up this year, his lowest total since 2018-19. Still, the fact that Chychrun has never reached the 70-game mark in his six-year NHL career will likely lower his fantasy value.

Chychrun (ankle) may not return this season, Jose M. Romero of The Arizona Republic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Chychrun has already missed the last nine games and it's unclear if he'll be ready within the next month before the end of the 2021-22 campaign. The 24-year-old blueliner is sporting a minus-20 rating with 21 points through 47 games this season. His health going into the offseason could be a big topic of discussion when it comes to his value on the trade market.

Chychrun (ankle) hasn't started skating, Arizona Coyotes Insider Craig Morgan reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Coyotes expressed optimism in mid-March that Chychrun wouldn't have to miss more than two weeks due to this injury, but the two-week mark is approaching and he isn't even skating yet. While Chychrun's still likely to make it back to game action before the end of the season, Arizona has little reason to rush him since the Coyotes are well out of playoff contention and have been for basically the entire season.

Chychrun is dealing with an ankle injury that's expected to keep him out no more than two weeks, Arizona Coyotes Insider Craig Morgan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Chychrun was given a 2-4 week timeline as of Monday, but it appears it may be on the shorter end of that range after additional testing. The 23-year-old is at 21 points in 47 contests this season, and it remains possible he'll get traded even while he's sidelined if the Coyotes make big changes to their rebuilding roster.

Chychrun (lower body) will miss the next two-to-four weeks.
EDGE Analysis
Chychrun will be out until at least late March, which could prevent a trade before the deadline. The 23-year-old blueliner has 21 points with a minus-20 rating through 47 games this season. Another update on his status should be available in the coming weeks.

Chychrun (lower body) flew back to Arizona for an MRI on Sunday, Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
This news likely rules him out for the team's next two road games in Ottawa and Montreal. Chychrun is one of the top trade deadline targets and could command a big return for the Coyotes. The 23-year-old is averaging 22:59 of ice time with 21 points through 47 games this season. An update on his status should be available in the coming days.

Chychrun (lower body) won't return to Saturday's game versus the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
Chychrun took a knock on his first shift of the game, but it was a second-period hit from Derek Forbort that knocked him from the game. The 23-year-old Chychrun has picked up 10 points in his last seven outings, and he's been the subject of trade rumors around the league, so this could potentially be a big absence if he misses more time. The Coyotes' next game is Monday versus the Senators.

Chychrun scored twice, including the game winner, in a 5-4 overtime win over Toronto on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
The first goal was a bit of a gift -- he redirected a pass from Phil Kessel that got past Petr Mrazek, who went down and was unable to get across the crease. Chychrun scored the winner at the 2:17 markt of overtime off a one-timer from the right face-off dot. He has really picked up his scoring with 10 points, including five goals, in his last six games. Chychrun's name continues to swirl in trade rumors, but the price would be high for the 23-year-old defender.

Chychrun potted two goals while adding an assist, eight shots and a plus-4 rating in Tuesday's 9-2 win over Detroit.
EDGE Analysis
Chychrun beat Alex Nedeljkovic in the first period and gave Thomas Greiss a rude welcome in the second after Detroit made a change in net, getting the puck past Greiss just 55 seconds after he replaced Nedeljkovic. He added a helper as the Coyotes piled on in the third. It's easy to forget that Chychrun led all NHL defensemen with 18 goals in 56 games last season. He got off to a brutally slow start this season, but Chychrun's heating up along with the rest of the Arizona offense, producing three goals and five assists over his last five games.
