Coyotes' Christian Fischer: Scores in win

Fischer had to breathe a sigh of relief after putting one past Calgary's Jon Gillies in Tuesday's victory, as it marked the 20-year-old winger's first goal in 31 contests. The 2015 second-round pick has enjoyed a solid rookie season, totaling 14 goals and 31 points in 77 contests. He'll look to take the next step in his development in 2018-19.

Coyotes' Christian Fischer: Tentatively set to play Saturday

Fischer's lower-body ailment is believed to be a minor issue, but pregame warmups will afford him the chance to confirm that he's good to go. This is the American winger's first full season at the highest level, and he's shown flashes of dominance on the way to 23 points (13 goals, 10 assists) in 51 games. If those numbers don't seem impressive, think again -- he's done this on a youthful Coyotes team with the worst goal differential in the league at minus-63.

Coyotes' Christian Fischer: Sidelined with injury

Fischer was held out of Thursday's contest in Minnesota and a lower-bodh injury appears to be the reason. The 20-year-old rookie winger has 13 goals and 23 points for the Coyotes this season. He could be back as soon as Saturday against Philadelphia.

Coyotes' Christian Fischer: Impressing head coach

The rookie has recorded five goals through his past 11 contests, and his 12 tallies on the season rank second among all Coyotes. Obviously, he's far from being a universal fantasy asset, and Fischer's 1.72 points per 60 minutes is hardly an encouraging mark. However, he's clearly caught Tocchet's eye, so his long-term value in keeper/dynasty settings could climb in the second half of the season.

Coyotes' Christian Fischer: Pots overtime winner

Other than an ugly minus-13 rating, the rookie has been making the most of a bleak situation in Arizona, as he's now up to 11 goals, 18 points and 80 shots on net. Fischer has averaged a smidgen over 15 minutes of ice time -- including 2:24 with the man advantage -- and is currently skating on the team's second line with Max Domi and Clayton Keller, which is a nice fantasy setup.
