Alex Galchenyuk will make his Arizona Coyotes debut Tuesday when the team visits the Columbus Blue Jackets.

The 24-year-old has yet to play a game this season due to a lower-body injury he suffered during training camp. The Coyotes acquired Galchenyuk from the Montreal Canadiens for Max Domi in a trade over the summer.

Galchenyuk is entering his seventh NHL season after debuting with the Canadiens as an 18-year-old in the lockout-shortened 2013 campaign. In 418 games he has 108 goals and 255 points. He had 19 goals and 51 points last season.
