The Arizona Coyotes announced Thursday they have recalled defenseman Kyle Capobianco from the team’s American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate.
Capobianco has yet to play in a game for the Coyotes this season after playing in one last year. The 21-year-old is an AHL All-Star this season.
For the Tucson Roadrunners in the AHL, Capobianco has seven goals and 25 assists for a total of 32 points in 40 games.
In 93 career AHL games, Capobianco has 62 total points.
Capobianco was originally drafted by the Coyotes in the third round of the 2019 NHL Draft.
After a long break of more than a week, the Coyotes are back in action on Saturday against the San Jose Sharks. You can listen to the action live on ESPN 620 AM.
