Coyotes' Vladislav Kolyachonok: Summoned by Arizona

Kolyachonok was recalled from AHL Tucson on Thursday.

The 22-year-old blueliner played 32 games for the Coyotes two seasons ago, scoring once and adding a pair of assists. He managed to see action in only two games last season with the big club -- he did, however, appear in 71 games with AHL Tucson, scoring three times and adding 18 helpers. Kolyachonok has two goals and an assist in 11 AHL games this year. He will likely be the extra defenseman Thursday as Juuso Valimaki is expected to be out for a while after taking a puck to the face Tuesday versus Dallas.
