ImpactMcGregor has been an emergency depth option for the last two games, but he's been scratched for both. The 24-year-old may continue to shuttle between levels while the Coyotes are banged up.

Coyotes on a roll with historic run, 'Dateline'-loving goalie
The Arizona Coyotes have made history by winning consecutive games against the last five franchises to win the Stanley CupDECEMBER 5, 2023•ASSOCIATED PRESS
Charlie Lindgren - Makes relief appearanceLindgen stopped 19 of 22 shots in Monday's 6-0 loss to Arizona after starter Darcy Kuemper was pulled.
ImpactKuemper, who picked up the loss in the contest, got the hook before the end of the first period after surrendering three goals on five shots. Lindgren has 5-2-0 record this season with a 2.46 GAA and a .928 save percentage over eight appearances.

Josh Brown - Manages assist MondayBrown recorded an assist, two hits, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 6-0 win over the Capitals.
ImpactBrown has earned two helpers over the last four games despite seeing a reduced role with the Coyotes running seven defensemen in the lineup. The 29-year-old is up to three points, 16 shots on net, 37 blocked shots, 34 PIM and 26 hits through 17 appearances this season. With Sean Durzi's (lower body) status up in the air, Brown could continue to hold a spot in the lineup. The Coyotes may eventually have to choose between Brown and Michael Kesselring when the team is closer to full health.

Michael Kesselring - Assist streak at four gamesKesselring logged an assist, two blocked shots and two PIM in Monday's 6-0 win over the Capitals.
ImpactKesselring has a helper in each of the last four games, and he's gone plus-7 across his last six outings. The 23-year-old is proving himself more and more ready for at least a third-pairing role as he sticks in the lineup. With Sean Durzi (lower body) leaving Monday's game early, the Coyotes may not have to make a decision between Kesselring and Josh Brown for a little longer, especially if Travis Dermott (hand) returns to keep the team rolling with seven-blueliner lineups.

J.J. Moser - Reaches 10-assist markMoser logged a shorthanded assist, two hits and two blocked shots in Monday's 6-0 win over the Capitals.
ImpactMoser earned his 10th helper of the year on Nick Bjugstad's second-period tally. Seven of Moser's assists have come over his last 11 games, a span in which he's added 28 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating. The defenseman has 12 points, 22 shots on net, 23 hits, 43 blocked shots and a plus-11 rating through 24 outings overall. Moser or Matt Dumba are the likeliest blueliners to earn more power-play time if Sean Durzi (lower body) is sidelined -- Moser's offense makes him the better choice of the two.

Nick Bjugstad - Adds shorthanded goalBjugstad scored a shorthanded goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Monday's 6-0 win over the Capitals.
ImpactBjugstad stayed warm by picking up the Coyotes' final goal of the game in the second period. He's racked up three goals and three assists over his last seven games while skating in a second-line role. The center's goal was just the third shortie of his career, two of which have come over the last two seasons. Bjugstad continues to impress with 16 points, 41 shots on net, 28 hits, 24 hits and a plus-7 rating through 24 contests overall.
