Back at top level
Michalek was recalled from AHL Tucson on Sunday, Sarah McLellan of the Arizona Republic reports.
ANALYSIS
Michalek hasn't played at the top level this season, but could make his season debut Monday or Tuesday should some additional depth along the blue line be required. However, he's still not a very appealing fantasy option.

After the lottery-bound Coyotes dealt him to St. Louis prior to the trade deadline last season, Michalek elected to return to the desert in free agency, agreeing with Arizona on a two-year pact. Michalek's game has always been about defending his team's goal, and he does so quite effectively, regularly ranking among the league leaders in blocked shots. Last year was no exception, as Michalek turned away 160 shots in 68 games. While he was once capable of adding 20-plus points to his strong defensive game, over the last few years, Michalek has barely reached a dozen points most seasons. Don't expect an uptick in his offense in 2014-15, as his fantasy value will be primarily limited to deeper leagues that reward shot-blocking prowess.
