#langkow likely out for #Coyotes tonight. Perdonal issue.
With Langkow out, either the Coyotes make a roster move or Martin Hanzal draws back in. Through 13 games, the veteran has three goals and eight points.

Line Change
Center Daymond Langkow, in his second tour with the Coyotes, is looking for a bounce-back year after missing most of 2010-11 due to a fractured vertebra he suffered late in the preceding season. With the Coyotes, he scored 68 goals and had 166 points in three seasons. He played in only four games with the Flames last season and was traded to the Coyotes for Lee Stempniak in a contract swap. Langkow, 35, will be an unrestricted free agent at the end of this season.
Langkow should start the season on the top line with Kyle Turris still infamously holding out. In the past, Langkow was referred to as "instant chemistry" with his linemates, so expect him to once again mesh with Shane Doan. Could be a nice depth pick for deeper leagues as Dave Tippett should play him in all situations.
The line of Daymond Langkow, Ray Whitney and Shane Doan looked sharp in Sunday's scrimmage, with Whitney and Doan scoring goals. It's a combination that could stay intact.
Langkow will start the season on the top line, provided Kyle Turris continues to hold out. After a miraculous recovery last season, he posted one assist in four games with the Calgary Flames last season.
We needed a centerman to give us some depth there, and he’s a guy that will come in and play a very big role on our team.
In much deeper leagues it seems like a safe bet to draft Langkow. He stands to be one of the lone beneficiaries of the infamous Kyle Turris holdout.
Multiple outlets are reporting that the Phoenix Coyotes have acquired Daymond Langkow from the Calgary Flames.
