Connor Murphy was a healthy scratch Saturday for the Coyotes, sitting out their game against the Wild. He has been working his way back from an upper body injury and missed two games earlier this month.

Murphy was a healthy scratch Saturday for the Coyotes, sitting out their game against the Wild. He has been working his way back from an upper-body injury and missed two games earlier this month.

Analysis:

Murphy was on the ice for two goals in the first period against the Predators on Thursday night and only saw five shifts in the rest of the game. The Coyotes are struggling right now, looking for anything to turn their run around. Murphy may be back in the lineup for the next game, but there are few guarantees for anyone on the team right now.
