Sam Gagner was a healthy scratch for Saturday's game against the Wild.

Gagner was a healthy scratch for Saturday's game against the Wild.

Analysis:

It's safe to say that Gagner hasn't been provided the offensive spark the Coyotes had counted on after he was acquired from the Oilers in June. The 25-year-old has just three goals, 10 points and a minus-9 rating over 29 games. Coach Dave Tippett is likely hoping the banishment to the press box lights a fire under him.
