Forward Teemu Pulkkinen will make his debut with the Arizona Coyotes, who acquired him in a trade with the Minnesota Wild on Monday. He will play right wing on the second line with Max Domi and Christian Dvorak. "I've watched him for a long time," coach Dave Tippett said. "He's a good little player. Good skill, shoots the puck well and can execute on the power play. We'll see." Pulkkinen had one goal in nine games this season with the Wild but had 36 points (18 goals, 18 assists) in 47 games with Iowa of the American Hockey League. Forward Radim Vrbata has 12 points (four goals, eight assists) in a 10-game point streak, and Domi has 10 points (two goals, eight assists) in his past 11 games. Arizona has 33 goals in its past 11 games, with Vrbata and Domi big reasons for that success. "They're both smart players that understand the nuances of, not just the game, but the offensive part of the game," Tippett said. "Usually you find players like that that have a niche together." Goaltender Mike Smith will start.
