Coyotes' Mario Kempe: Called up to NHL

Kempe was recalled to Arizona from AHL Tuscon on Monday.

Analysis:

After being drafted back in 2007 by Philadelphia, Kempe will earn his first NHL roster spot. The 29-year-old spent last season in Russia, posting a modest 34 points in 56 games. He's known for his excellent speed and acceleration, and ability to rack up penalty minutes -- perfect for a potential fourth line role.
