Coyotes Hanzal shut down for final 2 games

Martin Hanzal's season is over.

Arizona Coyotes head coach Dave Tippett confirmed Thursday afternoon that Hanzal will be shut down for the final two games of the season, as he's still recovering from an upper-body injury.

"It's disappointing. He's a key part of our team. Hopefully he can get healthy soon and be ready to go next season," Tippett said.

Hanzal has been out of the Coyotes' lineup since March 31, marking another season cut short by injury for the centerman.

Since 2010-11, the 29-year-old hasn't played more than 65 games in a season.

Hanzal finishes the campaign sitting fifth on the Coyotes in scoring, with 13 goals and 28 assists in 64 games.
