The Arizona Coyotes announced on Thursday that forward Mario Kempe has been assigned to the Tucson Roadrunners.
Kempe, 30, has played in four games this season and registered zero points.
The move comes a day after Kempe was reportedly placed on waivers.
Kempe wasn’t waiver exempt, according to CapFriendly, so his demotion to the Coyotes’ AHL affiliate came because he cleared waivers.
