J.J. Moser News

Moser's rights were acquired by Tampa Bay two Saturday's ago in the massive blockbuster trade which saw Mikhail Sergachev head to Utah and the 24-year-old has signed a two-year, $6.75 million contract extension ($3.375 million AAV) with the Lightning on Thursday. The left-handed defensemen finsihed his third NHL season in 2023-24 with Arizona and had five goals, 26 points, 77 SOG and 35 PIMs in 80 games played.

Moser will head to Tampa Bay after being included alongside Conor Geekie, a 2024 2nd Round Pick and a 2024 7th Round Pick from Utah for Mikhail Sergachev. The 24-year-old swiss defender enjoyed a strong third NHL season in 2023-24, with five goals, 26 points, 77 SOG, and 35 PIMs in 80 games played.

Moser has missed the last two games with an upper-body injury and only played 7:10 before exiting the Coyotes' December 23rd contest. The 23-year-old Moser has 15 points (3G / 12A) while averaging 19:38 time-on-ice through 33 games this season. He has played most of the season as Sean Durzi's defensive partner.

Juuso Valimaki is expected to draw back into the Coyotes lineup on Wednesday as Moser will be out with an upper-body injury. The 23-year-old Moser has 15 points (3G / 12A) while averaging 19:38 time-on-ice through 33 games this season.

Moser played 7:10 TOI before departing Saturday's game with an upper-body injury. Due to the Christmas break, there has been no update on Moser's status since leaving the game, so consider him questionable to play Wednesday vs. the Avalanche. Juuso Valimaki, who sat as a healthy scratch last game, will replace him in the lineup if he's unavailable.

Moser has missed the last 12 games with an upper-body injury but is set to play Tuesday vs. the Devils. Moser will replace Vladislav Kolyachonok on the Coyotes' blueline and re-enters with 12 points (3G / 9A) in 33 games.

Moser was a second-round pick in this summer's NHL draft and is set to make his NHL debut after just 18 AHL games. The 21-year-old defenseman has tallied five goals and seven assists (12 points) with Tucson and will be the fifth Coyote to make his NHL debut this season.
