PHOENIX, United States (AFP) — The Phoenix Coyotes will reportedly be without defenceman Keith Ballard for at least four weeks due to a fractured right hand. According to Canadian sports channel TSN, Ballard, who suffered the injury in Monday's 5-1 loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets, flew back to Phoenix on Tuesday to be examined by club doctors.

The 11th overall pick in 2002, Ballard recorded eight goals and 31 assists while playing all 82 games as a rookie with the Coyotes in 2005-06. He had two assists in three games this season. Phoenix recalled defenceman Keith Yandle from the San Antonio Rampage of the American Hockey League to replace Ballard. © 2006 AFP
