His 59 points (23 goals, 36 assists) last season were an NHL career high and second on the Coyotes behind Clayton Keller (63 points; 28 goals, 35 assists). Conor Timmins is day to day because of an upper-body injury. The defenseman left in the first period of a 6-3 loss at the Boston Bruins on Saturday.
