Little (ear) was sent to the Coyotes from the Jets on Monday along with Nathan Smith in exchange for a 2022 fourth-round pick, Bob McKenzie of TSN reports.
Little is not expected to play again due to his ear injury and figures to spend the entire 2022-23 campaign on long-term injured reserve. Over the course of his 13-year NHL career, the Edmonton native racked up 217 goals and 304 assists in 843 games, all with the Thrashers/Jets franchise.
