Status report
Neither team was schedule to hold a morning skate Saturday. … Hayton, a forward who has not played since Nov. 16, could return after the All-Star Game. … The Coyotes did not practice Friday following a 2-1 loss at the Vancouver Canucks on Thursday. … The status of Schmaltz, a forward, could be a game-time decision, as it was Thursday. ... Arizona could dress 11 forwards and seven defensemen for a fourth straight game.
