Injury Report:

Coach Sullivan on the injured defensemen: “Justin will be a game-time decision. Hunwick is not going to play.”

Coach says that Hunwick has not experienced a setback, but has not yet been cleared by the medical staff.

Analysis: Matt Hunwick is already ruled out for tonight, and Justin Shultz is a game-time decision. This means that Chad Ruhwedel will still be in the lineup tonight.  If Justin Shultz does play, he would most likely replace Frank Corrado in the lineup.

Carter Rowney – no change.

Coyotes scouting report:

Welcome back to Pittsburgh Rick Tocchet!

The Coyotes have assigned Louis Domingue to the Roadrunners (AHL). Michael Sislo has been recalled from the Roadrunners (AHL) today.

In case you have not heard, the Coyotes have a 19-year old kid that is making headlines. Clayton Keller (#9) is on fire.  In 16 games this season, he has 11 goals, and six assists for 17 points!

Michael Sislo is a wild card. Not sure where he will fit in to the lineup tonight.  Without him, the forward lines should look like this:

Domi – Stepan – Rieder

Perlini – Dvorak – Keller

Marinook – Cousins – Fischer

Rinaldo – Richardson – Duclair

The defensive pairings :

Ekman-Larson – Demers

Goligoski – Mermis

Connauton – Schenn

In Goal:

Antti Raanta   (1-2-1. .911 save %. 3.13 GAA)

Scott Wedgewood    (1–1- 1. .909 save %. 3.21 GAA)
