José M. Romero @RomeroJoseM Coyotes coach Rick Tocchet, on limited fans in arena: "Whoever's coming, they're going to be excited to watch a hockey game. Hopefully we'll give them something to cheer about."
Alex Kinkopf @AEKinkopf Derick Brassard will be the Coyotes' second alternate captain to start the season, Rick Tocchet says. "The first five games, then we'll go from there." Oliver Ekman-Larsson remains team captain, Niklas Hjalmarsson the other alternate.
Caggiula-Dvorak-Kesse - nasty, filthy line. I can't wait to see them on the ice together. Hopefully Drake can keep concussions from happening.
Alex Kinkopf @AEKinkopf Rick Tocchet, on Derick Brassard, who starts the season as an alternate captain: "He’s been a really good guy in camp. I've liked his camp. He’s a veteran, he’s played in some big games. I think he’s got a calming influence. I like what he’s brought so far to our team." #Yotes
Craig Morgan @CraigSMorgan Coyotes coach Rick Tocchet said it’s still not certain whether Lawson Crouse will play tonight. If he can’t go, John Hayden will replace him in the lineup. Everyone else appears to be available.
