The Coyotes assigned center Laurent Dauphin to the American Hockey League and recalled winger Christian Fischer, who will play tonight against the Lightning.
“We switched Dauphin and Fischer out,” coach Dave Tippett said. “Dauph was here, we had injury concern with one of the centermen. That concern has been cleared up. We’ll bring Fisch. Fisch has played real well down there. We wanted to get him another look before the end of the year. He’ll come up, and we’ll see what he can do.”

Defenseman Anthony DeAngelo, who was acquired in a trade with the Lightning last summer, will draw back in for defenseman Zbynek Michalek.
“He didn’t spend a lot of time in Tampa here,” Tippett said. “More with the minor-league team, but it’s an organization that drafted him. So he’ll come in and want to play well, I’m sure.”
Backup goalie Louis Domingue will start against the Lightning.
“The last three or four starts have been real solid for him,” Tippett said. “He’s gotta embrace that role. It’s a hard role for a goaltender to play when they’re not in a rhythm. But he’s gotta embrace that role. The last few outings have been strong.”
