A roster overhaul and a coaching change was bound to affect some Arizona Coyotes players and prospects in a way that helped their careers. Defenseman Kyle Capobianco looks like he's in that group.
Capobianco has four points — two assists and two goals, including the overtime winner for the Coyotes Sunday night in Los Angeles — in five games since being activated from injured reserve. In his season debut on Nov. 12, he recorded his first career assist and scored his first power play goal four days later in a Coyotes' win at St. Louis.
Entering this season, Capobianco had one goal, his only point, in 14 career NHL games.
