If Alex Galchenyuk is forced to miss at least the start of the regular season due to a lower-body injury he presumably suffered on Tuesday, the Coyotes could be in big trouble.
President of Hockey Operations and General Manager John Chayka went out and acquired Galchenyuk to boost the team’s scoring, which was subpar last season even when the team was playing well.
As a result, the Coyotes parted ways with Max Domi to acquire Galchenyuk’s services and try him out as a top-two center. And in his first game at Gila River Arena on Tuesday, Galchenyuk scored twice and showed what his potential could be.
