Scottsdale, Arizona – The Arizona Coyotes and General Manager Bill Armstrong announced Friday that forward Jan Jenik has been recalled by the Coyotes from the Tucson Roadrunners. The move represents Jenik’s second call-up of the season, after making his season debut with Arizona on December 17, 2022, against the Buffalo Sabres at Mullett Arena.

In his third season with the Roadrunners, Jan Jenik has totaled seven goals and 16 assists for 23 points in 30 games played. The 22-year-old returned to the Tucson lineup on March 25 after missing 37 games due to injury. Since coming back, Jenik has tallied nine points (2g 7a) in just seven games played with three-straight multiple-point performances from March 25 to March 31.
