The Arizona Coyotes sent Christian Thomas back to their AHL affiliate in Springfield today after the 23 year old made his debut with the Coyotes last night in the 5-2 loss to Winnipeg.
The move is likely as much about getting Thomas playing time during the break as it is to be about anything having to do with his actual play.
Here’s the Coyotes’ press release:
GLENDALE, ARIZONA – Arizona Coyotes General Manager Don Maloney announced today that the Coyotes have assigned forward Christian Thomas to the Springfield Falcons, the club’s American Hockey League affiliate (AHL).
