A fan favorite in the Coyotes organization is getting another NHL opportunity. The team announced today that left wing Bokondji Imama has been recalled from the AHL’s Tucson Roadrunners.
This is the first recall of the season for the 26-year-old enforcer, who cleared waivers before the start of the season. A seasoned AHL veteran with the Roadrunners and Ontario Reign, Imama scored his first NHL goal last season while playing in four games with the Coyotes.
In Tucson this season, Imama has matched last season’s offensive totals in far fewer games, recording 12 points in 39 games and his first plus rating in the AHL.
The Montreal-born forward is in his second season with the Coyotes organization after a minor trade in the 2021 offseason sent him to Arizona from the Los Angeles Kings.
