Coyotes poised to get Jakob Chychrun back; head coach Tourigny also clears COVID protocol

It certainly hasn't been the season that Coyotes defenseman Jakob Chychrun had hoped for. But now, it looks like he's ready for a restart.

At the start of the season Chychrun was the face of the team, both present and future, just 23 years old and coming off career highs in goals and assists. But he has not played since Dec. 10. He suffered an upper body injury late in a 3-1 loss to the Florida Panthers and wasn't on the ice in the final minutes of the third period.

The next game was his first one missed of the season.
