Schmaltz (head) is expected to miss the final two games of the season.

Schmaltz was struck in the head by a puck in warmups on Saturday and has missed the last two games. Schmaltz did not travel to San Jose, so it looks like he'll miss the final two games of the 2021 season. The Coyotes are pretty much out of the playoff hunt, so we likely won't see Schmaltz until the 2021-22 season.
