INJURIES
Dropped to minors
Sanford was assigned to AHL Rockford on Friday.
Impact
In a corresponding move, Lukas Reichel was summoned from the minors. Sanford has six assists, 24 shots on goal, 19 blocked shots and 24 hits in 29 NHL appearances between Arizona and Chicago this season.

Rejoins big club
Sanford was promoted from AHL Rockford on Friday, per the AHL's transaction log.
Impact
Sanford was recalled after being sent down earlier Friday in a paper transaction. He's expected to be available Saturday against Washington.

ROTOWIRE
Reassigned to AHL
Sanford was moved to AHL Rockford on Friday, per Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times. It's believed his reassigned is merely a paper transaction to keep him eligible for the AHL play...
Impact
Sanford is likely to be recalled before Saturday's game against Washington. He has three assists in 16 appearances with the Blackhawks in 2023-24.

ROTOWIRE
Sticks with big club
Sanford is still with the Blackhawks despite being waived by the team Feb. 20, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Impact
Even though he's evidently remained with the big club, Sanford hasn't cracked Chicago's lineup since being waived. The 29-year-old vet has collected three helpers through 15 top-level appearances this year.

ROTOWIRE
Back on waivers
Sanford was designated for waivers by the Blackhawks on Tuesday, Chris Johnston of The Athletic reports.
Impact
Sanford was previously claimed off waivers by Chicago in early January and now finds himself back on the wire. With 331 games of NHL experience and a Stanley Cup ring, the veteran winger could draw plenty of interest from around the league, including his former club Arizona. If he clears, Sanford should end up in the minors with AHL Rockford.

Claimed off waivers
Chicago claimed Sanford off waivers from Arizona on Saturday, Chris Johnston of The Athletic reports.
Impact
The Blackhawks added Connor Bedard (fractured jaw) and Nick Foligno (fractured finger) to a lengthy injury list following Friday's 4-2 loss to New Jersey. As a result, Sanford could make his Chicago debut as early as Sunday's contest versus Calgary. He has two assists, nine shots on goal and eight blocked shots in 11 NHL outings this season.

On waivers
Sanford was placed on waivers Friday, according to Craig Morgan of PHNX Sports.
Impact
Sanford has two assists, four hits and eight blocks in 11 contests with Arizona this season. If he clears waivers, the 29-year-old will presumably return to AHL Tucson where he's contributed a goal and four points in 16 appearances.
JANUARY 5

ROTOWIRE
Manages helper
Sanford logged an assist in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Senators.
Impact
Sanford has two helpers over five appearances this season. This was his fourth straight game in the lineup, and with news of Travis Boyd (pectoral) being out for the year and Barrett Hayton (hand) unlikely to return before February, Sanford could stick around the NHL a bit longer. The veteran winger is unlikely to see more than bottom-six usage, so he won't be a fantasy option for most managers.

ROTOWIRE
Promoted to NHL
Sanford was called up from AHL Tucson on Tuesday.
Impact
Sanford has played in just one game for the Coyotes this season in which he recorded one assist, one hit and two PIM in 7:24 of ice time versus the Kings on Oct. 27. The 2013 second-round pick hasn't exactly been producing in the minors, notching a meager four points in 16 games for the Roadrunners.

ROTOWIRE
Heads back to minors
Sanford was sent to AHL Tucson on Wednesday.
Impact
Sanford has appeared in just one game with the Coyotes this season, logging 7:24 of ice time while recording one assist, two PIM and one hit in that contest. He also has an assist in three outings with Tucson in 2023-24.

ROTOWIRE
Snags assist in limited role
Sanford logged an assist and two PIM in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Kings.
Impact
Sanford saw just 7:24 of ice time while filling in for Lawson Crouse (illness) in this game. This was Sanford's first game of the season, but he's unlikely to see much playing time when the Coyotes are at full health. The 28-year-old winger has shuffled to and from AHL Tucson frequently when the Coyotes have a game-time decision.

ROTOWIRE
Called up again
Sanford was recalled from AHL Tucson on Thursday, per CapFriendly.
Impact
Sanford was sent down in a paper move Wednesday. The 28-year-old is likely set to continue serving as a depth option. The Coyotes may move him between levels frequently while Jason Zucker (lower body) is on injured reserve.
OCTOBER 27, 2023

ROTOWIRE
Returns to AHL
Sanford was reassigned to AHL Tucson on Wednesday, per CapFriendly.
Impact
Sanford was a scratch for Tuesday's game versus the Kings. The winger could still bounce between levels, as his reassignment to the AHL leaves the Coyotes with only 12 healthy forwards on the roster.

ROTOWIRE
Recalled from AHL
Sanford was summoned from AHL Tucson on Monday.
Impact
Arizona also brought up Jan Jenik on Monday because of injuries to Jason Zucker (lower body) and Michael Carcone (upper body). Sanford and Travis Boyd could occupy bottom-six roles in Tuesday's game versus the Kings. The 28-year-old Sanford supplied two goals, one assist, 20 shots on net, 21 blocked shots and 21 hits in 16 games for Nashville last season.

Signs with Coyotes
Sanford signed a one-year, two-way contract with Arizona on Friday.
Impact
Sanford spent last season with Nashville where he potted two goals and an assist in 16 games. Sanford also played in the AHL for the first time in four years, tallying 12 times with 16 helpers in 45 games with Milwaukee. This will be Sanford's fifth NHL team in the last three years as he has seen action with St. Louis, Ottawa, Winnipeg and the aforementioned Predators since the start of the 2020-21 season.

Tallies in Monday's win
Sanford scored a goal and added two PIM in Monday's 3-2 shootout win over the Flames.
