Coyote Notes:
The Coyotes are 13th in the 14-team Western Conference, nine points off the playoff pace with six straight home losses.
Some roster moves yesterday:
@ArizonaCoyotes: Head Coach Dave Tippett said today's recalls - d-man Andrew Campbell & forward Jordan Martinook - will play Sat. vs Boston at @GilaRivArena
@ArizonaCoyotes: Head Coach Dave Tippett also said d-man @Cmurphy5 would return to lineup on Saturday after missing past two games with upper-body injury.
Kyle Chipchura waived.
Coyotes acquired defenseman Philip Samuelsson, older brother of Coyotes prospect Henrik Samuelsson. Their dad is Beelzebub.
On Friday, TSN's Bob McKenzie reported that Maloney entered the Coyotes' dressing room after the team's 3-0 loss to Calgary on Nov. 28 and threatened to seek trades for core players with limited no-trade clauses if the team's play did not improve. McKenzie said Maloney even contacted the players' agents to get a list of teams to which they would accept trades.
Maloney said the meeting he had with players was actually the following day and it was not the tirade that was portrayed in the report.
"I played my first game against the Boston Bruins so they are near and dear to my heart," Tippett said. "I know Claude well. Losing a game like that, a couple of games in a row like they have, I'm sure they won't be in a very good mood, so should be two teams that are not in a very good mood."
Let's get "CHARA" MAD!
