Hockey Club's Michael Carcone: Gets on scoresheet with two assists
Rotowire
Carcone provided two assists -- one on the power play -- and five shots on goal in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Penguins.
These were Carcone's first two points of the season. The 28-year-old has played in seven straight games after being a scratch for most of October. He's added nine hits, 17 PIM, 18 shots on net and an even plus-minus rating through 10 appearances this season. With Utah settling back into playing the traditional six defensemen and 12 forwards, Carcone looks to have established himself in the lineup over the more physical Liam O'Brien.

Hockey Club's Michael Carcone: Falling out of favor
Rotowire
Carcone was scratched for the sixth consecutive game when he sat out Wednesday's contest versus the Flames.
Carcone has played in just three of Utah's first 11 games this season, recording two shots on goal, three hits and a minus-2 rating. The 28-year-old was a pleasant surprise in the Coyotes' final season, earning 21 goals, eight assists, 111 shots on net and 35 PIM over 74 regular-season contests, but with Utah looking to integrate more prospects, there hasn't been a spot for Carcone most of the time. Utah dressed seven defensemen Wednesday -- once the team goes back to a traditional 12-forward, six-defensemen lineup, Carcone will compete with Liam O'Brien for playing time.

Coyotes' Michael Carcone: Posts assist in loss
Rotowire
Carcone registered an assist in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Wild.
Carcone's March surge continues -- he has three goals and three assists over seven contests this month. He set up a Nick Bjugstad tally in the second period Tuesday. Carcone has 26 points, 84 shots on net, 44 hits, 20 PIM and a minus-4 rating through 58 appearances. While he's scoring more than he was in February, it's unlikely to earn him anything more than a third-line role.

Rotowire

The Coyotes jumped out to an early 3-0 lead thanks to Carcone's first multi-point effort since Nov. 28. He also snapped a 10-game point drought with the performance.

Coyotes' Michael Carcone: Playing time inconsistent
Rotowire
Carcone has been scratched for five of the Coyotes' nine games in February.
Carcone was one of the team's best stories early in the season, but the magic has worn off. He's scoreless in his last eight outings and has just one goal since the calendar flipped to 2024. For the season, the 27-year-old has 15 goals, five assists, 72 shots on net, 36 hits and 20 PIM through 49 appearances. Carcone may get a chance to play soon with Clayton Keller (upper body) leaving Sunday's game versus the Jets.

Coyotes' Michael Carcone: Helps out on power play
Rotowire
Carcone notched a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Avalanche.
Aside from a short stretch around the start of November, Carcone has received virtually no power-play time. It's possible the Coyotes put him out there Saturday because they were too far behind and wanted to rest their better players. Carcone has certainly earned more looks with the man advantage -- he has 14 goals, five assists, 48 shots on net and a plus-6 rating through 32 appearances this season.

Carcone snapped a three-game point drought when he helped out Jack McBain's tally in the second period. The 27-year-old Carcone has been a surprisingly effective goal-scorer with eight goals over his last 13 outings, but this was just his second assist in that span. He remains in a third-line role, where he's amassed 18 points, 45 shots on net, 22 hits, 10 PIM and a plus-6 rating over 30 contests this season.

The surge has got him to the 10-goal mark on the season, joining players like Connor Bedard, Leon Draisaitl and Brady Tkachuk at that threshold. Carcone's also shooting a whopping 32.3 percent and playing in a third-line role, so a cooldown will likely arrive eventually. He's added three assists, 31 shots on net, 14 hits and 10 PIM through 21 outings.

Coyotes' Michael Carcone: Pots two goals in victory
Rotowire
Carcone scored two goals on three shots in the Coyotes' 7-5 win over the Predators on Saturday.
Carcone opened the scoring in the first period for the Coyotes, beating Juuse Saros with a wrist shot from the boards. He would also give the Coyotes a 5-4 lead near the end of the second period with a heavy wrist shot off the rush. This snaps a five-game pointless drought for the Canadian forward as he looks to get back on track offensively. He should continue to play on the third line for the time being.

Coyotes' Michael Carcone: Suffers upper-body injury Saturday
Rotowire
Carcone sustained an upper-body injury and consequently won't return to Saturday's game versus Anaheim, per Craig Morgan of PHNX Sports.
Carcone logged 4:17 of ice time before exiting the game. Before Saturday's contest, he had a goal, four hits and two blocked shots in three appearances this season. Arizona also lost Jason Zucker (lower body) on Saturday, so the Coyotes might need to get reinforcements from AHL Tucson if the two forwards are unavailable for Tuesday's game versus LA.

Carcone's second-period tally stood as the game-winner. He's played in three of the Coyotes' four games so far, adding four shots, four hits and two PIM in a bottom-six role.
