• Lawson Crouse is coming off an impressive outing vs. Toronto on Saturday, in which he played a career-high 20:34 and chipped in an assist, five hits and two blocked shots.
"He's a one-man wrecking crew on the forecheck," Head Coach Rick Tocchet said after Saturday's game. "I have to give him a lot of credit."

• The Coyotes are looking to end a two-game losing streak vs. Calgary, which won the first two games of the season series by a combined score of 13-2.
