Assessing The Coyotes’ Options at Center For Opening Night

With the start of the Coyotes’ season now just four days away and preseason in the books for 2018/19, the countdown is reaching high gear for the start of a season that looks very promising in the desert. There is one big issue facing the Coyotes to start the season, who they’re going to place as pivots up the middle for, at least, the first few games.

Christian Dvorak and Alex Galchenyuk are both unable to start their season on opening night thanks to injury. Arizona is a squad reaching deep into the back of the cupboard when it comes to center depth this opening night, with a problem that can be addressed but may include roster shuffles that will cause ripples all down the lineup.
