Arizona Coyotes defenseman Jakob Chychrun will miss two-to-four weeks with a lower-body injury, the team announced Monday.
Boston Bruins defenseman Derek Forbort hit Chychrun awkwardly into the boards Saturday night.
The 23-year-old is among the top players rumored to be moved ahead of the March 21 trade deadline. The St. Louis Blues, Carolina Hurricanes, Florida Panthers, Los Angeles Kings, Anaheim Ducks, and Bruins are reportedly among the serious contenders for his services.
Chychrun has recorded 21 points in 47 games this season. He's signed for three more years at a $4.6-million cap hit.

TRADE ALERT
The Minnesota Wild traded forward Nico Sturm to the Colorado Avalanche in exchange for forward Tyson Jost, both teams announced Tuesday.
Sturm, 26, has nine goals and eight assists in 53 contests this season, matching his point total from last season in three fewer games. The physical, 6-foot-3 center logged 61 hits while averaging 11 minutes per game this campaign.
The German can be an unrestricted free agent at the end of this season and carries a cap hit of $725,000. He has 36 points in 111 career NHL matchups and has performed well in fourth-line minutes.
"Nico is a big, strong forward who also brings a heavy defensive presence," Avalanche general manager Joe Sakic said. "He is a defensive-minded center who can chip in offensively, is good on draws, and can contribute on the penalty kill."
Jost has six goals and eight helpers in 59 games but registered just one goal and two assists in his last 25 contests. Drafted by the Avalanche with the 10th overall pick in 2016, he has one season remaining on a two-year, $4-million deal. Jost has 103 career points in 321 NHL games.
The 24-year-old is expected to make his Wild debut Wednesday against the Boston Bruins, per The Athletic's Michael Russo.
Colorado created $1.275 million in cap space thanks to the swap, according to CapFriendly.

The Toronto Maple Leafs are among several Eastern Conference teams that have inquired about San Jose Sharks defenseman Jacob Middleton, reported TSN's Pierre LeBrun on Tuesday's edition of "Insider Trading."
The Sharks are looking to acquire a second-round pick plus another selection or prospect, LeBrun adds.
The 26-year-old is in the final year of a two-way contract that pays him $725,000 at the NHL level. He's been a revelation for the Sharks this season, slotting into the left side of the team's top-four and logging big minutes alongside Erik Karlsson and Brent Burns.
Middleton has three goals and six assists in 41 games this season. He's averaged 19:01 minutes of ice time per game and ranks second on the team with six blocked shots per 60 minutes. He'll be a restricted free agent at the conclusion of the season.

According to Dan Kingerski of Pittsburgh Hockey Now, the Pittsburgh Penguins are also in on Chiarot:
"Also, on Tuesday, a source with direct knowledge, told the Hockey Now network that the Penguins were pushing hard for Montreal Canadiens defenseman Ben Chiarot. That admission came a couple of days after a rival Eastern Conference source told PHN that Pittsburgh Penguins management was very high on Chiarot."
