Kirk will miss the remainder of the 2021-22 campaign after having successful knee surgery, the club announced Thursday.
Kirk played in eight games for AHL Tucson this year in which he recorded two goals and one assist. Selected by the organization in the seventh round of the 2018 NHL Draft, the 21-year-old Kirk will almost certainly need another year or two developing in the minors before getting a shot at making the Coyotes' 23-man roster.
