Vladislav Kolyachonok is back with the Coyotes after spending four games in the NHL earlier this season, and this time, he might have a better chance to stay around a while longer.
When the Coyotes traded Ilya Lyubushkin to the Toronto Maple Leafs last weekend, it opened up a roster spot for a defenseman. Kolyachonok got the callup from AHL Tucson on Monday, and practiced with the Coyotes on Tuesday.
"Of course it was a good experience, because we won a couple of games and I always try to bring energy to the team," Kolyachonok said of his first stint.
