Detroit Red Wings right wing Christian Fischer has been listed as day-to-day with an upper-body injury. He was hurt in Thursday's 2-0 loss to Florida. The 26-year-old hasn't received a lot of ice time this season and has yet to score in 11 outings, boasting only one assist. It looks like he will be forced to miss his first game of the year Saturday against Boston. Fischer would then need to recover by Tuesday to avoid missing another match.
Arizona Coyotes forward Christian Fischer left Saturday's meeting with Colorado due to a lower-body injury and it's unclear if he can play Sunday versus Minnesota. Fischer managed to take just eight shifts against the Avalanche, logging 5:32 of ice time. The 25-year-old had an uneventful evening on Saturday, but he has been doing quite well on a struggling team, recording 11 goals and 24 points in 65 games. Fischer had just started to gain some offensive momentum before getting hurt, having entered Saturday's matchup with points from back-to-back games.
Arizona Coyotes forward Christian Fischer will miss a second consecutive game on Sunday against Winnipeg and is considered week-to-week with a lower-body injury. The 24-year-old has had a quiet campaign with five goals and five assists across 53 games and it looks like he won't be able to finish it strongly either. He's fifth on the team with 91 hits and the Coyotes will definitely miss his physical presence. Arizona also remains without defenseman Jakob Chychrun, who's yet to begin skating after dropping out of the lineup with a lower-body injury on Mar. 12.
Arizona Coyotes forward Christian Fischer (upper body) is expected to be back in the lineup Monday night against Winnipeg. The 24-year-old last played in a 2-1 loss to Chicago on Nov. 12. Fischer sits on five points for the campaign, which somehow puts him tied for the seventh spot in scoring on the team. It's been an awful season for the Coyotes, and they'll be happy to get any kind of help. Fischer is slated to replace Hudson Fasching on the fourth line. Karel Vejmelka, who is 1-9-1 for the season, is set to start in goal.
