The Coyotes have decided to return center Dylan Strome to junior after an abbreviated stint in the NHL to start the season.
"Dylan has made exceptional progress and continues to make strides to being an elite center in this league," General Manager John Chayka said in a statement released by the team. "At this point in time we felt it was best for his development to get him back playing in junior, but his future in the NHL is very bright."
Strome appeared in seven games with the Coyotes after making the initial 23-man roster out of training camp.
