(AP) - The Phoenix Coyotes put four players, including goaltender Brian Boucher, on the injured reserve list Tuesday to reach the NHL's 23-man roster limit to start the season.The Coyotes also announced that defenceman Brad Ference and defenceman/left wing Chris McAllister cleared waivers and were assigned to the team's AHL affiliate in San Antonio.Boucher has been sidelined since pulling a groin in the post-game shootout of Phoenix's pre-season opener on Sept. 16.Left wing Ladislav Nagy is sidelined with a shoulder injury, while left wing Jason Chimera has an oblique strain and right wing Fredrik Sjostrom has a lacerated foot.Players on the injured list must stay there a minimum of seven days but the date is retroactive to when they were injured.Coyotes officials said Nagy, Sjostrom and Chimera could all be activated before Saturday night's home opener against Minnesota.Because of the injuries, Phoenix will carry eight defencemen for at least the season's first two games.</blockquote>
