Coyotes' Andrew Ladd: Fails physical, headed for LTIR
Rotowire
Ladd (knee) failed his physical Thursday and will be placed on long-term injured reserve, Craig Morgan of PHNX Sports reports.
Ladd's thrice surgically-repaired knee is evidently still an issue, and it appears as though he may be in danger of missing the entirety of the 2022-23 campaign. Ladd's in the last season of his seven-year, $38.5 million deal, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him formally retire after this campaign.

Coyotes' Andrew Ladd: Solid in comeback campaign
Rotowire
Ladd (lower body) posted 12 points, 68 hits, 57 shots on goal and 47 PIM in 51 contests this season.
Ladd was considered essentially out of the NHL prior to the campaign, but he earned his place with the Coyotes as a veteran presence. While the offensive numbers weren't all that great, he was able to play in his 1,000th game in April before missing the final four contests. He's under contract for one more year on the deal he signed with the Islanders in 2016, so the 36-year-old will probably continue in a bottom-six role in 2022-23 if he continues his playing career.

Rotowire
Ladd logged an assist and two shots on goal in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Blackhawks.

He celebrated the occasion against one of his former teams and picked up an assist to give him 550 career points.

Coyotes' Andrew Ladd: Pots lone goal in loss
Rotowire
Ladd scored a power-play goal in Thursday's 7-1 loss to the Canucks.
Ladd was a game-time decision heading into the contest, and Jose M. Romero of The Arizona Republic reports the winger was receiving treatment after the contest, though he's expected to be fine. The 36-year-old Ladd has done alright in a bottom-six role through 47 games, picking up seven goals, three assists, 54 shots on net, 66 hits and 47 PIM this season. If he continues to be bothered by nagging injuries, he could be a scratch at times in the final two weeks of the campaign.

Coyotes' Andrew Ladd: Returning Sunday
Rotowire
Ladd (lower body) will be activated from injured reserve and play Sunday in Chicago, Jose Romero of The Arizona Republic reports.
The veteran has missed the last 18 games with the injury, but he's finally ready to roll. Ladd has only managed nine points in 42 games in his first campaign with the Coyotes and hasn't provided much punch from a fantasy perspective, so there likely won't be much here for managers to latch onto in the final month of the season.

Rotowire
Ladd (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Monday, per CapFriendly.
Ladd is technically eligible to return at any time, but he's expected to be sidelined into late March at a minimum.

Coyotes' Andrew Ladd: Out 4-6 weeks
Rotowire
Ladd will miss 4-6 weeks due to his lower-body injury suffered against Dallas on Sunday.
Ladd has been plagued by injuries during his career, including missing the entire 2020-21 campaign. Given the length of his absence, the 36-year-old winger figures to be sidelined until late March or early April. Considering the British Columbia native has garnered just nine points in 42 games this year, his absence is unlikely to impact the majority of fantasy players. Given his recovery timeline, Ladd should end up on injured reserve in the coming days.

Rotowire
Ladd had a goal in a 7-3 loss to the Rangers on Saturday.

The veteran forward is up to five goals, two helpers, 25 shots on net, 43 hits, 18 PIM and a minus-7 rating in 24 contests.
