Kyle Capobianco News

Capobianco was a third-round pick in 2015 and appeared in 59 NHL games with the Coyotes over the last five years. Most of those appearances came in 2022 when he had nine points (2G / 7A) in 45 games. He'll probably be a reserve defenseman for the Jets as Dylan Samberg and Ville Heinola are poised to become full-time NHLers in the very near future.

Capobianco has not played since January 4th but will be a game-time decision in New Jersey. Head coach Andre Tourigny said that one of Capobianco or Jakob Chychrun will be back in the lineup on Wednesday but that both are game-time decisions.

Capobianco will miss Saturday's game vs. the Predators but will be eligible to be active from COVID-19 protocol ahead of next Wednesday's game vs. the Maple Leafs.

Capobianco missed the first 13 games of the season with a lower-body injury but will replace Cam Dineen in the lineup on Friday. Capobianco has one goal in 14 career NHL games with the Coyotes.

Oliver Ekman-Larsson was forced to leave Thursday's game with a lower-body injury, so Capobianco returns to the NHL where he has one goal in eight games this season.

Capobianco has appeared in seven NHL games already this year but has spent most of the year in the AHL, where he has four goals and 16 assists (20 points) in 23 games. He has one goal in 10 career NHL games.

Capobianco comes up from the AHL because Jordan Oesterle was hurt last night and Capobianco will likely serve as a reserve defenseman with Ilya Lyubushkin replacing Oesterle.

Capobianco was a healthy scratch for the last two games and gets sent back to the AHL with Aaron Ness taking his spot with Arizona. Capobianco had one goal in six games with Coyotes during his call-up.

Capobianco appeared in six straight games but will be replaced by Aaron Ness on Monday. Capobianco has just one goal while averaging 13:47 TOI/gm this season.

Capobianco will be replacing Niklas Hjalmarsson, who is expected to miss at least three months with a fractured leg. Capobianco has no points in his first three career NHL games but had seven goals and 25 assists (32 points) in 40 AHL games last season.

There were reports on Monday morning that Nicklas Hjalmarsson will miss approximately three months, so Capobianco has earned a call-up and could be in-line for an extended stay with the Coyotes. The former third-round pick had 32 points (7G / 25A) in 40 AHL games last year and has failed to record a point in his first three career NHL contests.

Capobianco, 20, has 22 points (2G / 20A) in 35 games with the Roadrunners this season and has been recalled to take Jason Demers’ spot on the roster. With Demers on IR, Capobianco could play in his second career game on Thursday.

Capobianco, 20, has only appeared in one game with the Coyotes this season but has picked up 15 points (2G / 13A) in 25 games with the Roadrunners.

Capobianco, 20, was a third round pick (No.63 overall) in 2015 and has earned his first career call-up after posting two goals and 12 assists (14 points) in 17 games with the Roadrunners. The Coyotes recently got Jakob Chychrun back, so there’s no word who Capobianco would replace if he gets into the Coyotes lineup.
