Arizona Coyotes Make First Round of Cuts
Only 54 players are left in the Arizona Coyotes training camp. Only 23 players will remain at the end of pre-season, meaning that the race is on for those who hope to make the team for the first time, or even just keep their spot on the roster. After an arduous week of training, the first cuts had to be made. The following 8 players will be moved down to the Coyotes AHL team, the Portland Pirates:
|
Dan O’Donoghue, Forward – Portland (AHL) Dyson Stevenson, Forward – Portland (AHL) Ryan MacInnis, Forward – Kitchener (OHL) Christian Dvorak, Forward – London (OHL) Edgars Kulda, Forward – Edmonton (WHL) Laurent Dauphin, Forward – Chicoutimi (QMJHL) Pavel LaPlante, Forward – Victoriaville (QMJHL) Colin Suellentrop, Defense – Released |
On top of the training camp roster cut, first round draft pick Brendan Perlini is suffering from a hand injury. Perlini, 18, has an apparent broken bone in his hand that was possibly sustained during prospect camp. He will be staying around for a couple more days so that they can determine the severity of the injury. No further reports have been released.
