GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Following a upper-body injury suffered Tuesday night by Niklas Hjalmarsson, the Arizona Coyotes recalled 29-year-old defenseman Andrew Campbell from the Tucson Roadrunners.

Campbell, 6-feet-4 and 205 pounds, recorded one goal and two assists in 16 games with the Roadrunners this season. He played in 33 games for the Coyotes in the 2014-15 season, and also had brief stints with the Toronto Maple Leafs and Los Angeles Kings.
