Schmaltz (undisclosed) will get on the ice Thursday for his second straight day of skating, Arizona Coyotes Insider Craig Morgan reports.

Schmaltz was missing from the Coyotes' first three play-in matchups with the Predators, though it appears the Madison, Wisconsin native is trending in the right direction. If he gets into Friday's Game 4 clash, Schmaltz figures to jump into a top-six role, which could see him offer intriguing fantasy value in DFS contests.
