DeSimone was sent to the Golden Knights as a part of the Mattias Janmark trade last April. The 26-year-old has spent his entire pro career in the AHL, finishing last season with no goals and 11 assists in 22 games. Look for him to open the 2021-22 season in the AHL.
Crouse suffered a lower-body injury on Wednesday and could miss an extended period of time. Crouse will be re-evaluated but it sounds like he'll miss the last few regular-season games.
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.
Schmaltz was a late scratch on Monday after getting hurt in pre-game warmups. If Schmaltz can't play on Wednesday, Lade Pederson will replace him up front and Jordan Oesterle will move back to the blueline.
Tanev has been out since April 3rd but could be back in the lineup on Saturday. Tanev, who is officially considered a game-time decision will return in a bottom-6 capacity and comes in with 16 points (7G / 9A) in 32 games this season.
