Cameron Starts in Only Change to Heat for Classic

Arizona Coyotes forward Lawson Crouse underwent successful wrist surgery and will miss the rest of the season.

The Arizona Coyotes announced on Thursday that forward Lawson Crouse underwent successful wrist surgery and will miss the rest of the season. Crouse was injured in the Coyotes' 5-2 loss to the Minnesota Wild on Tuesday night. He had played in 53 games this season, scoring 14 goals and adding 13 assists.

The Coyotes have recalled forward Cameron Hebig from the Tucson Roadrunners of the American Hockey League to take Crouse's place on the roster. Hebig has played in 33 games for the Roadrunners this season, scoring 12 goals and adding 10 assists.

Crouse's injury is a big blow to the Coyotes, who are already struggling to score goals.

The Coyotes are 29th in the NHL in goals per game (2.53) and have scored just 11 goals in their last 10 games. Crouse was one of the Coyotes' most consistent scorers this season, and his absence will be felt.

The Coyotes will need to find a way to replace Crouse's production, and they will need to do it quickly. The Coyotes are currently in last place in the Western Conference standings and are in danger of missing the playoffs for the fifth consecutive season.

Hebig will get a chance to prove himself in the NHL, and he will need to make the most of this opportunity.

Hebig is a skilled forward who has a lot of potential. He was a standout player in the Western Hockey League, and he has continued to develop in the AHL. Hebig is a good skater and shooter, and he has a knack for scoring goals.

The Coyotes will need Hebig to step up and contribute offensively. He will need to be able to score goals and create chances for his teammates. If Hebig can do that, he will help the Coyotes improve their offense and make a push for the playoffs.
