GLENDALE, Ariz. - Danny Carcillo has been assigned by the Phoenix Coyotes to the AHL's San Antonio Rampage for conditioning purposes after missing the last 15 NHL games due to a knee injury.

The left-winger from King City, Ont., has five goals, seven assists and a league-leading 172 penalty minutes in 33 NHL games.
