Marino has been battling an upper-body injury and will sit out on Tuesday for the third time in the last four games. Marino played 24:24 time-on-ice in the Devils' last contest, recording a -1 plus/minus rating.
Bortuzzo has been a healthy scratch for the Blues' previous two games and has been officially removed from the Long-Term Injured Reserve due to a lower-body injury on Monday. The 35-year-old veteran last appeared for the Islanders on January 2nd and has yet to pick up a point in 15 games this season with both New York and St. Louis.
Bjugstad was limited to only 7:24 time-on-ice before exiting Saturday's 4-1 win over the New Jersey Devils with an undisclosed injury. The 31-year-old Bjugstad is enjoying a productive season with the Coyotes, tallying 37 points (17G / 20A), 143 shots, and 106 hits in 67 games.
Bortuzzo has been sidelined with a lower-body injury since January 2nd, but it looks like he'll return to the lineup on Saturday. It's unclear who Bortuzzo will replace in the lineup, but it will likely be Sebastian Aho on the third pairing. Bortuzzo has no points in 15 games between the Blues and Islanders this season.
Despite playing 24:58 time-on-ice on Monday, his third-highest total of the season, Marino is battling an upper-body injury and will not play in Thursday's game against the Dallas Stars. The 26-year-old defenseman has three points (0G / 3A), three shots, and four hits in his last three games.
After having the night off on Tuesday, Ingram will return to the crease for the Coyotes on Thursday. Ingram allowed six goals on 40 shots (.850 SV%) in his last outing, a 7-4 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks, but was excellent last week against the Detroit Red Wings, posting a 28-save shutout in a 4-0 victory. That said, the Coyotes enter action as +139 road underdogs against a Red Wings club amid a six-game losing skid.
Hayton was a late scratch on Tuesday due to a lower-body injury and unfortunately is expected to miss more time than originally planned as he is out longer than a day-to-day prognosis while he continues to get tested by team doctors. The 23-year-old has had a season to forget as its been riddled with injuries which has led to very disappointing production with his three goals, 10 points, 66 SOG, 26 PIMs and -13 plus/minus in 33 games played.
Despite playing 24:58 time-on-ice on Monday, his third-highest total of the season, Marino is battling an upper-body injury and his status for Thursday's game against the Dallas Stars is up in the air. The 26-year-old defenseman has three points (0G / 3A), three shots, and four hits in his last three games.
Soderstrom will return to Tucson after being recalled on an emergency basis on Friday. Travis Dermott (illness) will presumably re-enter the lineup in his place.
Hayton has begun to find productivity lately but is unlikely to play on Tuesday against the Minnesota Wild. In his last six games, Hayton has scored four points (2G / 2A) after scoring only two points (0G / 2A) in his previous 11.
Vejmelka is responsible for two of the Coyotes' last three wins and will return to the crease for the fourth time in the last seven games. The Czech netminder has allowed three or fewer goals in three straight (2-1-0) but is coming off a 5-2 loss to the Minnesota Wild, where he allowed three goals on 26 shots (.885 SV%). The Coyotes enter action as +171 road underdogs against Minnesota.
Soderstrom will draw right into the Coyotes lineup after being recalled from Tucson (AHL) earlier in the day. He'll replace Travis Dermott (illness).
Bjugstad will play on Friday after missing Thursday's game due to the impending birth of his child. He will center Matias Maccelli and Alex Kerfoot on the team's second line.
Soderstrom has played just a single NHL game this season. He has eight goals and 17 assists in 50 AHL games this season.
On the tail-end of a back-to-back, the Coyotes will turn to Ingram after losing 5-2 to the Minnesota Wild with Karel Vejmelka between the pipes on Thursday. Ingram has not won since January 22nd and allowed four goals on 31 shots (.871 SV%) in his last outing, a 5-2 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks. The Coyotes enter action as +119 home underdogs against the Detroit Red Wings.
Koch made his NHL debut on Thursday and recorded 10 penalty minutes in 9:20 time-on-ice. The Slovak-born Koch drew into the Coyotes' lineup for Matt Dumba, who was scratched for trade-related reasons. Koch has one goal and ten assists in 47 games with Tucson (AHL) this season.
