Coyotes recall Strome for 2nd time in 2 weeks

This time it's for real.

The Arizona Coyotes recalled forward Dylan Strome from the AHL on Tuesday, nine days after the club canceled an emergency call-up.

Strome was expected to join the Coyotes earlier this month, but a clean bill of health from fellow center Derek Stepan deemed his recall unnecessary. The former third overall pick was then returned to the minors only hours later.

With the AHL's Tucson Roadrunners this season, the first-year pro has tallied a team-leading 50 points in 47 games. He also ranks second in scoring among minor-league freshmen, behind Winnipeg's Mason Appleton.

Strome has tallied one goal and one assist in 18 NHL appearances.

The Coyotes drafted Strome in 2015 with the first available pick following the selections of Connor McDavid and Jack Eichel.
