Capobianco was a healthy scratch for the last two games and gets sent back to the AHL with Aaron Ness taking his spot with Arizona. Capobianco had one goal in six games with Coyotes during his call-up.
Capobianco appeared in six straight games but will be replaced by Aaron Ness on Monday. Capobianco has just one goal while averaging 13:47 TOI/gm this season.
Capobianco will be replacing Niklas Hjalmarsson, who is expected to miss at least three months with a fractured leg. Capobianco has no points in his first three career NHL games but had seven goals and 25 assists (32 points) in 40 AHL games last season.
There were reports on Monday morning that Nicklas Hjalmarsson will miss approximately three months, so Capobianco has earned a call-up and could be in-line for an extended stay with the Coyotes. The former third-round pick had 32 points (7G / 25A) in 40 AHL games last year and has failed to record a point in his first three career NHL contests.
Capobianco, 20, has 22 points (2G / 20A) in 35 games with the Roadrunners this season and has been recalled to take Jason Demers’ spot on the roster. With Demers on IR, Capobianco could play in his second career game on Thursday.
Capobianco, 20, has only appeared in one game with the Coyotes this season but has picked up 15 points (2G / 13A) in 25 games with the Roadrunners.
Capobianco, 20, was a third round pick (No.63 overall) in 2015 and has earned his first career call-up after posting two goals and 12 assists (14 points) in 17 games with the Roadrunners. The Coyotes recently got Jakob Chychrun back, so there’s no word who Capobianco would replace if he gets into the Coyotes lineup.
