The Arizona Coyotes announced earlier on Monday afternoon that they had acquired forward Teemu Pulkkinen from the Minnesota Wild in exchange for future considerations. There was no indication as to what, if anything, the Coyotes would give in return.
Pulkkinen was selected by the Detroit Red Wings with the 111th overall pick in 2010. He bounced back and forth between the Red Wings and their American Hockey League affiliate before the Minnesota Wild claimed Pulkkinen off waivers prior to the beginning of the 2016-17 season. He scored one goal in nine NHL games, and has 18 goals and 18 assists in 47 AHL games this season.
