The Coyotes won’t say quite how bad it is yet, but things aren’t looking good for Darcy Kuemper. Arizona placed the goaltender on injured reserve on Tuesday, and Craig Morgan of AZ Coyotes Insider tweeted earlier in the day that there is fear he could miss as many as four weeks. Kuemper is heading back to Arizona for further evaluation, meaning he’ll likely miss at least the last six games of the current road trip.
The Coyotes have recalled Ivan Prosvetov from the AHL to serve as the taxi squad goaltender while Adin Hill and Antti Raanta take over the active roster duties. Frederik Gauthier and Michael Chaput have also swapped spots between the roster and taxi squad.

The Coyotes almost did it, again.
Down 3-0 late, the Coyotes rallied to score two goals in the final 1:36 of regulation. They were one shot from pulling off their third straight, three-goal comeback, but Colorado staved off the final push.
Arizona fell by a 3-2 score, suffering just its second regulation loss in its previous seven games. It s kind of frustrating to see we have this kind of same pattern the last three games, said Niklas Hjalmarsson. Today, we obviously woke up a little bit too late.
Colorado built its three-goal lead with a goal in the second period and two goals in the third period.
