Coyotes' Kyle Capobianco: Lands on IR

Capobianco has already been ruled out of the remainder of the campaign due to a lower-body injury, so this move doesn't come as a surprise. The 21-year-old rookie had only appeared in two games with the big club before suffering his season-ending injury, but his high-end potential was on full display during his time in the minors, as he was able to rack up seven goals and 32 points in just 40 AHL appearances. Assuming his rehab goes well, the 2015 third-round pick will have an excellent chance of securing an Opening Night roster spot during next year's training camp.

Coyotes' Kyle Capobianco: Done for season

Capobianco was in the midst of just his second NHL game this season when he required assistance leaving the ice. The blueliner posted a promising 32 points -- seven goals and 25 assists -- and a plus-10 rating over 40 games with AHL Tuscon. Assuming he's healthy for training camp next season, Capobianco could challenge for an Opening Night roster spot.

Capobianco sustained his injury when he was hit into the boards by Columbus' Nick Foligno midway through the third period of Thursday's contest. The rookie blueliner wasn't able to put any weight on his right leg as he was helped off the ice, so he could be facing a lengthy absence. More details regarding Capobianco's condition should surface ahead of Saturday's matchup with Dallas.

Jason Demers is day-to-day with an upper-body injury, so Capobianco will likely round out the Coyotes' depth at defense against the Stars on Thursday. The 20-year-old blueliner has been productive in the minors this season, racking up two goals and 22 points in 35 contests.
