Dvorak (lower-body) still hasn’t skated in training camp.
The Coyotes have not had any updates on Dvorak’s status, other than they had “some encouraging stuff but ti’s still a process.” With Dvorak not skating and Alex Galchenyuk out with a lower-body, the Coyotes are without two of their top-3 centres. If Dvorak misses the start of the season, Clayton Keller could move to centre for the time being.
The Coyotes signed Christian Dvorak to a six-year, $26.7M extension ($4.45M AAV).
Dvorak (undisclosed) is not on the ice for warmups; won't play Saturday vs. the Blues.
