Coyotes' Brendan Perlini: Won't return Tuesday

Perlini suffered an upper-body injury Tuesday against the Golden Knights and won't return to the game, Craig Morgan of NHL.com reports.

Analysis:

Although Perlini won't return, it's unclear whether he'll be available for Thursday's game against Detroit. Perlini has been playing on the third line this season, and he has already added a power-play assist through two games. The 21-year-old is still adjusting to NHL-style hockey, but his 14 goals and seven assists last season show that he has the makes of a threatening scorer.
