Lauri Korpikoski News

Korpikoski (upper-body) was moved to injured reserve so the team could recall forward Tim Kennedy from their American Hockey League affiliate.

Korpikoski will miss at least a week, so he will not be in the lineup today vs. Edmonton. Kyle Chipchura moved up to his second lineup LW spot on Thursday, so expect that to remain the same.

Many thought Coyotes forward Lauri Korpikoski had a breakout season in 2010-11. Just wait, says General Manager Don Maloney, the best is yet to come.

Korpikoski could play a much bigger role due to departures and the Kyle Turris holdout. Last season the Finnish forward scored 19 goals and 40 points. Look for him to top 20 goals and approach 50 points over a full season if given the ice time.
