Hanzal (upper body) was placed on injured reserve ahead of Monday's game against the Blackhawks.Hanzal hasn't played since Jan. 29 due to the injury and faces an uncertain return date. Once he gets a few practices in, he'll likely be activated by the Coytoes in short order. In the meantime, moving Hanzal to IR opens up a roster spot for an extra healthy player, should the Coyotes require one.
