Coyotes' Anthony DeAngelo: Nursing lower body injury

DeAngelo is dealing with a lower-body issue, Sarah McLellan of azcentral reports.

Analysis:

While the injury forced DeAngelo from the ice during Thursday's practice, it's reported that the 20-year-old defenseman could be ready to play in the Coyotes' preseason games this weekend. The No. 19 overall pick in the 2014 draft is coming off a 43-point season (69 games) with AHL Syracuse and could get an opportunity to break onto the NHL scene during 2016-17.
