Arizona Coyotes forward Alex Galchenyuk made his season debut on Tuesday against the Columbus Blue Jackets, donning his new colours for the first time.
Galchenyuk missed Arizona's first seven games due to a lower-body injury.
Acquired from the Montreal Canadiens in an offseason deal for Max Domi, Galchenyuk will get his chance to play center after spending much of his career on the wing. Ahead of Tuesday's contest, Galchenyuk centered a line between Lawson Crouse and Clayton Keller in practice.
Galchenyuk recorded 19 goals and 32 assists in 82 games with Montreal last season.
