Good news is finally on the horizon for the Arizona Coyotes as they assigned Jakob Chychrun to the Tucson Roadrunners for a conditioning stint.
This is the first major step forward to the road to return for Chychrun, who suffered a knee injury in August and consequently had surgery on his knee.
He has been rehabbing on his on own and has been skating with the team for a few weeks now.
Chychrun, who is 19 years old, can be assigned to the AHL only for conditioning due to the CHL/AHL agreement.
