News

Boyd Gordon had a goal and an assist on Wednesday.

News

Boyd Gordon has yet to score this season.

Arizona Republic/Phoenix Gazette

Impact

Gordon is one of three NHLers who have played at least 28 games not to have scored, joining Tanner Glass and Jeff Halpern. Just an FYI since any of the three should not be on your fantasy team.

Boyd Gordon skates with no-contact jersey | 01/14/2013 11:39 AM

News

Boyd Gordon (undisclosed) skated in a yellow non-contact jersey on Sunday.

Arizona Republic/Phoenix Gazette

Impact

Gordon was injured a week ago when he collided with teammate Kyle Chipchura and had to be helped off the ice. "I think things went well in the tests this morning, so I think he's going to be fine," coach Dave Tippett said on Sunday. Gordon is not worth selecting in traditional fantasy pools this season although he is good on the face off draw.

Boyd Gordon hurt in practice, status unclear | 01/08/2013 10:59 AM

News

Center Boyd Gordon collided with center Kyle Chipchura early in a workout session for the Phoenix Coyotes on Monday.

Arizona Republic/Phoenix Gazette

Impact

The pair seemed to inadvertently run into each other as Gordon was turning and Chipchura was skating straight ahead. Gordon fell to the ice and had to be helped by teammates to the bench. He sat there for a few minutes before gingerly skating off the ice. Gordon's status is unclear, and since the CBA is not official, the Coyotes can't offer medical assistance. The team's equipment staff is allowed to help out with the skates, and that's how word of the injury floated back to general manager Don Maloney. "I know he was going to get looked at it, but I don't know any more than that," Maloney said. If Gordon isn't ready to go for camp, the Coyotes will recall an extra forward from their American Hockey League affiliate.
