Winger Teemu Pulkkinen has joined the Coyotes in Boston after being acquired in a trade Monday with the Wild but won’t tonight against the Bruins as the Coyotes want to give him a day to get acclimated.

“We’re hopeful he can catch some fire here and do what he’s done his whole life and score goals,” General Manager John Chayka said.

Goalie Mike Smith is set to start against the Bruins after dealing with an illness in recent days.
