Adam Ruzicka - Claimed off waiversRuzicka was claimed off waivers from the Flames on Thursday, Randy Sportak of The Hockey News reports.

ImpactRuzicka has three goals and nine points in 39 contests while averaging 10:10 of ice time this season. He'll likely serve primarily in a bottom-six role with the Coyotes, though Ruzicka might be a healthy scratch Thursday to give him time to meet up with the team and perhaps get into a practice with his new squad.

Alexander Kerfoot - Picks up power-play assistKerfoot notched a power-play assist and three shots on goal in Wednesday's 6-2 loss to the Panthers.

ImpactKerfoot has been steady with four points, including two on the power play, over his last six games. The 29-year-old center has settled into a second-line role for now, though the Coyotes have often rotated their pivots through various winger combinations this season. Kerfoot has 28 points (nine on the power play), 64 shots on net and a minus-3 rating while mainly serving as a top-six option.

Matias Maccelli - Produces assist in lossMaccelli recorded an assist and three shots on goal in Wednesday's 6-2 loss to the Panthers.

ImpactThis was Maccelli's third straight game with an assist as he builds some momentum before the bye week. The 23-year-old winger has gone seven games without a goal. Maccelli has 32 points, 84 shots on net and a minus-3 rating through 46 appearances, putting him behind the pace that saw him produce 49 points in 64 games a year ago. He should still top that production overall if he stays healthy.

Clayton Keller - Points in three straight gamesKeller notched a power-play assist, three shots on goal and a minus-2 rating in Wednesday's 6-2 loss to the Panthers.

ImpactKeller has points in three straight games and eight of his last nine outings, compiling six goals and six assists over the longer span. The 25-year-old set up Dylan Guenther's third-period tally Wednesday to keep the Coyotes from getting shut out. Keller is at 43 points, 141 shots on net, 24 PIM and a minus-15 rating through 46 appearances, once again playing a leading role on offense for Arizona.

Logan Cooley - Scores in lossCooley scored a goal and added two PIM in Wednesday's 6-2 loss to the Panthers.

ImpactCooley tallied late in the third period, but it had no impact on the result. The rookie center has been sharp lately with two goals and three assists overs his last eight games. He's been seeing a bit more ice time than his third-line usage would suggest, averaging 16:04 per game in January, though he's at 16:10 per contest for the season. Overall, Cooley has five goals, 23 points, 75 shots on net and a minus-11 rating over 46 appearances.
