Arizona Coyotes lose Teemu Pulkkinen to Vegas Golden Knights in NHL expansion draft

The Coyotes lost winger Teemu Pulkkinen to the Vegas Golden Knights in the expansion draft.

Pulkkinen appeared in just four games with the Coyotes last season after getting added in a February trade with the Wild in exchange for future considerations. He tallied one goal.

The 25-year-old was set to become a restricted free agent.

Vegas picks were announced during the NHL's annual awards show.

The Golden Knights picked one player from each of the other 30 clubs during the expansion-draft process. The team had until 7 a.m. Wednesday to submit their selections after receiving teams' protection-and-available lists Sunday morning.
