Kings Continue Winning Streak, Coyotes Adjust to Hayton's Injury

As the Los Angeles Kings maintain their momentum, the Arizona Coyotes grapple with the loss of Barrett Hayton, testing their depth and resilience.

The Los Angeles Kings are on a winning streak, with an 8-1-2 record in their past 11 games, and are unbeaten in regulation when scoring first this season.
The Kings' forward Pierre-Luc Dubois, who had a scare with a potential injury, has been cleared to play and scored the final goal in their recent game against the St. Louis Blues.
The Arizona Coyotes are adjusting to the loss of their top-line center Barrett Hayton due to an upper-body injury, expected to be out for four to six weeks.
Travis Boyd has moved into Hayton's spot on a line with Nick Schmaltz and Clayton Keller, and Schmaltz will also get a chance to play some center in Hayton's absence.
The Coyotes' coach Andre Tourigny sees the injury as a test of depth and character for the team.
