Center Dylan Strome is likely to be a healthy scratch in the Coyotes’ first game of the season.

It’s not an easy league, so you just gotta keep working hard and keep doing what they’re asking of you and wait for your chance to get in the lineup and do your best when you get in. You gotta prove that when you get in that you deserve to stay in and be in, so I’m going to wait for my opportunity and try to run with it when I get it.
