With the status of captain Oliver Ekman-Larsson still questionable for Saturday’s game against the San Jose Sharks, the Coyotes recalled defenseman prospect Kyle Capobianco from their AHL affiliate in Tucson on Friday.
Capobianco, 21, is one of the Coyotes’ higher-end prospects and has thrived in his second full season with the Roadrunners in 2018-19. The left-shot blueliner has tallied 32 points (seven goals, 25 assists) in 40 games this season and was invited to the AHL All-Star Game.
