The 26-year-old Weal has nine points (three goals and six assists) in 28 contests with Philadelphia this year.

The Los Angeles Kings selected Weal in the third round (No. 70 overall) of the 2010 NHL Draft. He has 19 goals and 23 assists in 124 career NHL games through four seasons with the Kings and Flyers.

Graves has seven points (two goals, five assists) in 32 games this season with the ECHL's Norfolk Admirals.

Richardson leads the Coyotes with 11 goals this season and ranks first in face-off win percentage (54.7). He's considered week-to-week.
