Coyotes' Lindback likely out for season with Achilles injury
Anders Lindback's season appears to be over.
The Arizona Coyotes goaltender is out indefinitely due to an Achilles injury, and general manager Don Maloney told reporters it's fair to say Lindback will miss the rest of the season, according to Arizona Sports 98.7 FM's Craig Morgan.
Lindback suffered the injury warming up for Monday's game and hasn't played since allowing five goals in a 5-2 loss to the Anaheim Ducks on Feb. 5.
Maloney said more tests are planned and surgery is likely. Lindback went 5-7-1 with a 3.11 GAA and .894 save percentage in 19 games.
The Coyotes recalled goaltender Niklas Treutle from the AHL's Springfield Falcons on Tuesday.
Nathan Schoenfeld, the bank employee who served as Arizona's emergency backup Monday night, practiced with the Coyotes on Tuesday.
