Gostisbehere has not played since Jan. 24 when he sustained an upper-body injury against Anaheim.
Gostisbehere has missed the last seven games for the Coyotes with an upper-body injury. The Ghost has had a career resurgence since coming to the desert. He had 14 goals and 37 assists in 82 games last season and picked up where he left off this season with nine goals and 20 assists in 48 games.
His return is crucial because he will play a handful of games before March 3rd’s trade deadline, proving to interested teams that he is healthy and ready to contribute to their playoff run should the Yotes decide to move him.
On Saturday, Arizona will play the Los Angeles Kings. The Coyotes are -128 (+1.5) on the puck line versus the Kings and +190 on the moneyline, with an over/under of 6.5, over (+100), and under (-122). You can find the lines and props for this game and all others on the FanDuel Sportsbook.
