The Arizona Coyotes are making roster moves thanks to injuries, even as they have a little time to heal up with their next game coming on Wednesday.
Steve Downie (upper-body injury) was placed on IR to make room for moves that are largely an adjustment to Mike Smith’s issues and their situation in net.

As mentioned above, Louis Domingue was recalled while the Coyotes decided to send Marek Langhamer to the AHL.
There are some other updates, even if they might lean toward baby steps rather than decisive moves.
Coyotes D Nicklas Grossmann (lower body) got through a full practice today. Coach Dave Tippett has not ruled him out for Wed. vs. Anaheim.

Coyotes G Mike Smith (lower body) made it through 3/4 of practice today and will be re-evaluated on Tuesday.

Overall, it seems like the Coyotes are getting healthier, although they may still be banged up when they face the Anaheim Ducks on Wednesday.
