Coyotes' Galchenyuk week to week with injury, will likely miss 1st game

Arizona Coyotes forward Alex Galchenyuk is week to week with a lower-body injury and is expected to miss the club's season opener, the team announced Tuesday.

Galchenyuk suffered the injury in the club's preseason tilt against the Los Angeles Kings on Sept. 18. The 24-year-old is getting set for his first season with the Coyotes after being acquired from the Montreal Canadiens in June in exchange for Max Domi.

The Coyotes will open the 2018-19 season on Oct. 4 against the Dallas Stars.
