Koch will switch places with Maveric Lamoureux, who was recalled in a corresponding move Wednesday. In his lone NHL appearance last year, the 27-year-old Koch registered four hits, 10 PIM and one shot in 9:20 of ice time. With both John Marino (back) and Sean Durzi (shoulder) facing months on the shelf, this likely won't be Koch's last stint in the NHL this year.

Hockey Club's Patrik Koch: Waived by team
Rotowire
Koch was designated for waivers by Utah on Thursday.
Koch made his NHL debut last season, playing in one game for the Coyotes in which he generated one shot, four hits and 10 PIM. While Koch should be on the short list of potential call-ups this year, he will likely play the majority of his games in the minors. As such, Koch figures to be a relative non-factor from a fantasy perspective.

Coyotes' Patrik Koch: Makes NHL debut
Rotowire
Koch made his NHL debut during Thursday's 5-2 loss to Minnesota.
The 27-year-old defender made his debut because the team held Matt Dumba out of the lineup for trade-related reasons. Koch saw just 9:20 of ice time with a single shot and four hits. If players move out at the trade deadline, Koch might continue to get games, but fantasy managers shouldn't view him as a potential pickup just yet.
