The Arizona Coyotes made a roster move Wednesday, recalling forward Michael Bunting from the club’s American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate.

In 29 games for the Tucson Roadrunners, Bunting has 11 goals and 15 assists for 26 total points.

The 5-foot-11 forward has played in four games for the Coyotes and has recorded one goal.

Bunting has been in the Coyotes’ AHL system for over 200 games with a career total of 122 points between Springfield and Tucson.

An AHL All-Star this season, Bunting was drafted by the Coyotes in the fourth round of the 2014 NHL Draft.
