GLENDALE, Ariz. -- The Phoenix Coyotes recalled goalie David LeNeveu from San Antonio on Thursday, one day after waiving backup goaltender Mike Morrison.
LeNeveu, 23, played in 13 games for Phoenix last season with a 3-8-2 record and 3.24 goals-against average. He will be the new backup to starter Curtis Joseph.
The Coyotes, 2-8 overall, have lost four in a row heading into Thursday night's game against Edmonton.
Morrison has cleared waivers and will be assigned to San Antonio, the Coyotes' American Hockey League affiliate, Phoenix general manager Michael Barnett said.
