Duchene has been sidelined by a lower-body injury since March 4th but is set to return to the lineup on Saturday. It's unclear where Duchene will slot back into the lineup but he comes back in with just three goals and five assists (eight points) in 23 games.
Hintz, as always will be a game-time decision for Thursday's game in Nashville. Hintz has suited up in two in a row and four of the last five games, so it seems likely that he'll play on Thursday.
Bunting appeared in five games with the Coyotes a season ago but has spent the entire 2021 season in the AHL. The former fourth-round pick leads Tucson (AHL) with 19 points (7G / 12A) in 16 games. He'll replace Drake Caggiula on the fourth line.
