The NHL announced Wednesday it has stripped the Arizona Coyotes of a second-round pick in the 2020 draft and a first-rounder in 2021 for violating the league's combine testing policy.
Commissioner Gary Bettman staged a hearing this month, during which Coyotes representatives admitted to performing physical tests on draft prospects prior to the combine.
The NHL postponed the scouting combine indefinitely in March because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
TSN's Darren Dreger reported in January the NHL was looking into whether the Coyotes performed physical testing of players from the CHL.
