Vladislav Kolyachonok hopes to build off first NHL stint in return to Coyotes

Vladislav Kolyachonok is back with the Coyotes after spending four games in the NHL earlier this season, and this time, he might have a better chance to stay around a while longer.

When the Coyotes traded Ilya Lyubushkin to the Toronto Maple Leafs last weekend, it opened up a roster spot for a defenseman. Kolyachonok got the callup from AHL Tucson on Monday, and practiced with the Coyotes on Tuesday.

"Of course it was a good experience, because we won a couple of games and I always try to bring energy to the team," Kolyachonok said of his first stint.
