The Coyotes' decision to bring up Matias Maccelli showed that there was no more keeping the native of Finland down on the farm any longer.
As call-ups from the American Hockey League go, some don't generate a ton of excitement. The Coyotes' decision to bring up Matias Maccelli, however, showed that there was no more keeping the native of Finland down on the farm any longer.
Also noteworthy is that he was called up on Dec. 28 and was set to make his NHL debut that night at San José, after scoring 21 points in his first 21 games in Tucson and being named the AHL Rookie of the Month for November. But just before the game, he was placed in the NHL's COVID protocol, and after being cleared, was sent back to Tucson a few days later.
With forward Liam O'Brien week to week with an upper body injury suffered last week, the Coyotes had a roster spot for Maccelli. But the front office had plans to bring him up even before O'Brien was hurt late last week. Maccelli is the Roadrunners' leader in multiple-point performances this season with 14, and registered his first AHL hat trick on November 12 against Ontario in an 8-4 win.
