With Lian Bichsel returning to the lineup on Sunday, Dallas did not utilize the services of Capobianco, who has been reassigned to Texas (AHL). The 27-year-old Capobianco played one game with Dallas earlier this season but has spent most of the 2024-25 campaign in the AHL, tallying 35 points (5G / 30A) in 49 games with the Texas Stars.

Ahead of their trip to Finland as part of the NHL Global Series, Dallas has opted to recall Capobianco from the Texas Stars (AHL) for some lineup security. The 27-year-old Capobianco has 73 games of NHL experience but has primarily been an AHL player. Last season with the Manitoba Moose (AHL), Capobianco had 54 points (12G / 42A) in 69 games.
After a full season with Manitoba (AHL) in 2023-24, Kyle Capobianco has signed a two-year, two-way contract with Dallas. The 26-year-old last played in the NHL in 2022-23 with Winnipeg but has five goals, 12 points and 48 PIMS in 73 career NHL games played. In 2023-24, he had 12 goals and 54 points in 69 games played with Manitoba.
Capobianco had two goals, 14 SOG, six PIMs and a +1 plus/minus through 14 games during the regular season and will make his playoff debut in Game 5 Thursday vs. Vegas. He will replace Logan Stanley in the Jets' lineup.
Capobianco has not played since January 3rd, but he will replace Logan Stanley on the Jets' blueline on Monday. Capobianco has appeared in just eight NHL games this season, scoring one goal on four shots, with four PIMS and a plus-1 rating.
Capobianco will head to the press box as the Jets prefer to go with Ville Heinola for his season debut Monday. In limited time this season with Winnipeg, the 25-year-old defenseman has no points and one SOG while averaging just 12:48 TOI.
Capobianco was a third-round pick in 2015 and appeared in 59 NHL games with the Coyotes over the last five years. Most of those appearances came in 2022 when he had nine points (2G / 7A) in 45 games. He'll probably be a reserve defenseman for the Jets as Dylan Samberg and Ville Heinola are poised to become full-time NHLers in the very near future.
Capobianco has not played since January 4th but will be a game-time decision in New Jersey. Head coach Andre Tourigny said that one of Capobianco or Jakob Chychrun will be back in the lineup on Wednesday but that both are game-time decisions.
Capobianco will miss Saturday's game vs. the Predators but will be eligible to be active from COVID-19 protocol ahead of next Wednesday's game vs. the Maple Leafs.
Capobianco missed the first 13 games of the season with a lower-body injury but will replace Cam Dineen in the lineup on Friday. Capobianco has one goal in 14 career NHL games with the Coyotes.
Oliver Ekman-Larsson was forced to leave Thursday's game with a lower-body injury, so Capobianco returns to the NHL where he has one goal in eight games this season.
