The Coyotes have cancelled an emergency recall of second-year forward Dylan Strome.
Strome, who was an AHL All-Star earlier this season, will return to the Tucson Roadrunners as they prepare for an AHL playoff run.
Strome was called up to the Coyotes in emergency fashion after center Laurent Dauphin suffered a lower-body injury against the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday. Despite the recall, Strome was not expected to play on Sunday against Vancouver.
Updated status per Coyotes: Center Laurent Dauphin (lower body) is out indefinitely.
