Coyotes Acquire Lindstrom from Ducks

The Phoenix Coyotes announced on Wednesday that they have acquired right wing Joakim Lindstrom from the Anaheim Ducks in exchange for defenseman Logan Stephenson. Lindstrom was acquired by the Ducks this past summer from the Columbus Blue Jackets for a conditional draft pick. Last season, Lindstrom appeared in 25 games with the Blue Jackets, scoring three goals and four assists for seven points. He has not appeared in any NHL games so far this season. Stephenson was drafted by the Coyotes in the 2nd round, 35th overall, of the 2004 Entry Draft. He has yet to play a game in the NHL. The trade is a minor one at best, with the Coyotes looking to add depth at forward to minor league affiliate and the Ducks defensive depth. Both players likely won't see any NHL action this season unless their is a long-term injury on their respected teams.
