The Arizona Coyotes announced Monday they have assigned forward Michael Bunting to the Tucson Roadrunners, the Coyotes’ AHL affiliate.

In three games for the Coyotes this season, Bunting has one goal as his lone point.

Bunting was a selection by the Coyotes in the fourth round of the 2014 NHL Draft.

With Tucson, Bunting has six goals, 18 points and 26 penalty minutes in 20 games.

After a loss on the road in Carolina on Sunday, the Coyotes have dropped five of their last six games. They hold a record of 14-16-2, the seventh overall position in the Pacific Division.

Arizona’s next game is at home on Tuesday against the New York Islanders.
