The Arizona Coyotes have put right-handed defenseman Stefan Elliott on waivers.
The move came as no surprise after the Yotes claimed another defenseman, Kevin Connauton, with similar offensive upside on waivers yesterday from the Columbus Blue Jackets.
The acquisition of Connauton left the Coyotes with eight defensemen on the roster, leaving it apparent that there was either an undisclosed injury or someone would be shipped out in some fashion. Elliott was the odd man out.
Stefan Elliott had played in 19 games for the Arizona Coyotes thus far in the 2015-16 season.
