COYOTES (27-29-6) at PENGUINS (31-21-8)
TV: 7 p.m. ET; FS-A, ROOT, NHL.TV
Season series: The Arizona Coyotes defeated the Pittsburgh Penguins 2-1 on Oct. 10. Coyotes forwards Tobias Reider and Jordan Martinook scored. Penguins forward Phil Kessel scored an unassisted goal.
Coyotes team scope: Forward Jiri Sekac practiced Sunday in Pittsburgh after being claimed off waivers from the Chicago Blackhawks on Saturday. Sekac has played in 97 NHL games over the past two seasons with the Blackhawks, Anaheim Ducks and Montreal Canadiens. "It's been a lot of movement lately," Sekac told the Coyotes' website. "It's been kind of tough, but there's nothing you can do about it. I'm just going to do my thing." Goalie Louis Domingue will likely start on Monday, his 11th straight. The Coyotes are 0-4-0 entering the final game of a five-game road trip, including a 4-2 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday. Forward Viktor Tikhonov will not play; his wife is expected to give birth on Monday.
Penguins team scope: Evgeni Malkin did not practice Sunday, but coach Mike Sullivan said it was just a maintenance day. Malkin returned on Saturday after missing 10 games with a lower-body injury and the Penguins defeated the Winnipeg Jets 4-1. The Penguins recalled goaltender Matt Murray from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton of the American Hockey League on Saturday. Starting goalie Marc-Andre Fleury and backup Jeff Zatkoff are both healthy. "The reason [Murray] is here is that we believe he can help us win," Sullivan told the Penguins website. "Matt's going to get some games because we believe that he can help us down the stretch." Defenseman Justin Schultz, who was acquired from the Edmonton Oilers in exchange for a third-round pick in the 2016 NHL Draft on Saturday, will not arrive in Pittsburgh until later in the week.
