The Coyotes didn't waste any time trying to fill out their roster via free agency, making four signings within the first hour after the signing period opened Wednesday.
In addition to signing forwards Brad Richardson and Steve Downie, the team also brought back veteran defenseman Zbynek Michalek after trading him at the deadline to the Blues.
The Coyotes also landed a backup goalie, signing Anders Lindback.
