The Arizona Coyotes recalled defenseman Dakota Mermis from the AHL’s Tucson Roadrunners ahead of Thursday’s game against the Nashville Predators.
Defensemen Jakob Chychrun and Alex Goligoski are day-to-day with injuries, which prompted the move.
Mermis was recalled by the Coyotes on Nov. 6 but was sent back to Tucson on Sunday in preparation for Chychrun’s season debut.
In nine games with Tucson this season, the 24-year-old has registered five points and six penalty minutes.
