With injuries to two defenseman, Juuso Välimäki (mouth) and Travis Dermott (upper body), there is one particular player on the Arizona Coyotes that has been called up and seized the opportunity, Michael Kesselring.
On Nov. 8, Kesselring was recalled by the Coyotes from their minor league affiliate, the Tucson Roadrunners.
Due to Dermott’s original injury occurring on Nov. 7, the move to have Kesselring on the NHL roster seemed to only be for insurance if someone else was dealt with a setback.
Well, Välimäki unfortunately took a puck to the face against the Dallas Stars on Nov.
