Coyotes coach Wayne Gretzky benched Jeremy Roenick for Thursday night's game against Columbus but said he and the forward worked out their issues at a meeting earlier in the day. The punishment was handed down because Roenick left the arena in Vancouver on Tuesday before the Coyotes played the Canucks. Roenick was scratched from the lineup because of a back injury and later said he watched part of the game while having dinner in a restaurant.
