Dylan Strome got his call-up, even if it was just for a few hours.
After spending almost the entirety of the past three months with the team’s AHL affiliate in Tucson, the Coyotes announced the recall of their former first-round draft pick on Sunday morning, but sent him back to Tucson just a few hours ahead of their game with the Vancouver Canucks at Gila River Arena.
The call-up was initially made on an emergency basis because the status of center Derek Stepan was in question after he suffered an injury blocking a shot in Denver on Saturday.
