The Coyotes have changed their minds about sending Kyle Turris to Portland of the AHL for a conditioning stint. He is in such excellent shape, that GM Don Maloney wants to take him with the rest of the team on a road trip that begins Tuesday in Chicago. "Kyle has returned in phenomenal condition," Maloney said. "We skated him hard two days in a row, and he looks strong and in shape, so we've decided to keep him with us. We still have the option to send him to Portland for a couple games next weekend, which we may, but it's not in stone. We're going to assess where he is in practice and potentially play him as early as next week." It seems that Turris may return to the Coyotes active roster sooner rather than later. Keep an eye on this situation.
