Arizona Coyotes defenseman Jakob Chychrun will miss the final two games of the season with a lower-body injury suffered during Tuesday's meeting with Calgary, the team announced.

Chychrun was injured upon being tripped by Flames forward Michael Frolik, and underwent an MRI on Wednesday after being unable to finish the game.

The NHL reportedly looked into the incident, but ultimately decided it did not warrant a suspension.

Chychrun was limited to 50 games this season due to an earlier injury, and recorded four goals and 10 assists while averaging 20:15 of ice time.
