Dylan Strome's game apparently needs more time to develop in the minors.
The Arizona Coyotes have assigned the highly-touted center to the AHL's Tucson Roadrunners, general manager John Chakya announced Monday.
Through two games this season, Strome was held without a point, averaging 12:09 of ice time and firing three shots.
Strome was selected third overall by the Coyotes in 2015, but has not been able to crack the lineup for any length of time. He spent the past two seasons with the OHL's Erie Otters, where he dominated. But for now, he'll settle in at a level in-between.
Forward Mario Kempe was concurrently recalled from the Roadrunners.
