Matthews has missed the last 14 games with a shoulder injury but will be back tonight vs. the Sharks. With Matthews back, Frederik Gauthier will be a healthy scratch.

Mermis, 24, has played just one game with the Coyotes and returns to the Roadrunners where he has five points (1G / 4A) in nine games. His return to the AHL suggests that one or both of Jakob Chychrun and Alex Goligoski will return on Wednesday.
