Speers was demoted to the taxi squad Wednesday.
With the Coyotes off until Sunday's matchup with Dallas, the team opted to send several players to the taxi squad and minors Wednesday, including Speers. The 24-year-old winger notched one hit and a minus-2 rating versus San Jose on Tuesday and could be recalled to the active roster versus the Stars unless players like Jay Beagle, Travis Boyd and/or Christian Fischer are cleared from the COVID-19 protocols.
