Last week, we discussed the possibility of Barrett Hayton being assigned to the AHL to play with the Tucson Roadrunners. Hayton had previously spent the past few games as the fourth-line center, and afterward, he was a healthy scratch for the next two games.
Today, the Coyotes made the move, assigning Barrett Hayton to the AHL.

Through 14 games with the Arizona Coyotes this season, Hayton has 2 goals and a single assist. He has played as a wing with Conor Garland and Nick Schmaltz and has centered the fourth line.
