Coyotes' Steve Downie: Reassigned to AHL
Downie was reassigned to AHL Springfield on Sunday.
Downie was recalled from the AHL affiliate Wednesday, and ended up drawing into Friday's contest with Boyd Gordon out due to an upper-body injury. The fact that he's being sent back could indicate Gordon will be ready for the team's next game, while Downie will now return to a role of organizational depth.

Downie was recalled from AHL Springfield on Wednesday.
Downie spent five games in the minors after being sent down on Jan. 18, tallying a goal during the stint.

Coyotes' Steve Downie: Goes on waivers
Downie was placed on waivers by the Coyotes on Sunday, Bob McKenzie of TSN reports.
Downie hasn't seen much ice time recently, but finally rejoined the lineup for Saturday's contest, playing 7:12 in the game. The team must have been unimpressed with what they saw from the winger, and it seems likely he will wind up in the AHL if he passes through waivers unclaimed.

Coyotes' Steve Downie: Will return Thursday
Downie (upper body) will return to the lineup Thursday night against Detroit, Sarah McLellan of the Arizona Republic reports.
The writing was on the wall that Downie would be activated following previous reports that Arizona sent winger Craig Cunningham to the minors. Downie missed the past 10 games with the upper-body ailment, but the two-way forward is evidently healthy again and should resume his hard-hitting ways as the team's loose cannon. Before his latest injury, Downie generated 19 hits in 14 games.

Downie (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Monday, Sarah McLellan of the Arizona Republic reports.
The exact nature and extent of the injury is still somewhat unclear, but Downie had already missed two weeks with the upper-body ailment so the move is more of a procedural one. Louis Domingue was recalled from the AHL in a corresponding move.

Coyotes' Steve Downie: Not travelling with team
Downie (upper body) didn't make the trip to Columbus for Saturday's game against the Blue Jackets, Sarah McLellan of the Arizona Republic reports.
The Coyotes' next four games will all be played on the road, which could indicate that the team doesn't expect Downie will be ready to return to action until after their four-game road trip. If that's the case, Downie won't have an opportunity to slot back into Arizona's lineup until Nov. 25 against the Ducks.
