PRESCOTT VALLEY, Ariz. - The Arizona Sundogs of the Central Hockey League announced Thursday that NHL parent club the Phoenix Coyotes has recalled goaltender Joel Gistedt to the San Antonio Rampage of the American Hockey League. It is the fourth time this season Gistedt has been recalled to the Coyotes' AHL affiliate.
