Kyle Chipchura rejoins Coyotes after birth of daughter

Forward Kyle Chipchura rejoined the Coyotes for Wednersday's game in Vancouver after being away for two days while his wife, Nancy, gave birth to the couple's first child in Phoenix -- a daughter named Noelle.

"We're extremely happy," Chipchura told azcentral.com.

He was a healthy for Wednesday's game but is expected to return to the lineup on Friday in Calgary.
