Mikkel Boedker remains a member of the Arizona Coyotes, which means he's prepping for a matinee.

The forward is expected to be in his team's lineup Saturday afternoon against the Philadelphia Flyers, reports TSN's Darren Dreger, "unless something materializes very quickly trade wise."

On an expiring contract that pays him $3.75 million, Boedker's expected to be moved ahead of Monday's trade deadline. He has 13 goals and 25 assists. The speculation may be getting to him, though, as he only has one goal and seven assists in 24 games in 2016.

Nevertheless, there's no doubt he can help a contender. He plays 18:40 a game and has four game-winning goals. In addition, 18 of his points have come on the power play.

The Coyotes are eight points back of the Colorado Avalanche for the second wild-card spot in the Western Conference. While Arizona has two games in hand, the club's lost four in a row, and the playoffs are looking more like fantasy than reality with 21 games to go.
