Christopher M. Mueller (born March 6, 1986) is an American professional ice hockey forward. He is currently playing with the Tucson Roadrunners in the American Hockey League (AHL) while under contract with the Arizona Coyotes of the National Hockey League (NHL).

Playing career

Undrafted, Mueller attended Michigan State University where he played four full seasons of collegiate hockey in the CCHA.

In the 2010–11 season, on December 27, 2010, Mueller signed a one-year contract with the Predators from American Hockey League affiliate, the Milwaukee Admirals.[1] On December 28, 2010, Mueller made his NHL debut with the Predators in a 4–2 defeat against the Dallas Stars.[2]

On July 7, 2011, Mueller re-signed to a one-year contract with the Predators.[3]

On July 8, 2013 Mueller left the Predators organization after three seasons and signed a one-year contract with the Dallas Stars.[4] On October 14, 2013, after skating in just one NHL contest with the Dallas Stars, Mueller was assigned to play with the Texas Stars of the AHL.[5]

On July 1, 2014, for a second consecutive year, Mueller was on the move, joining his third NHL club, the New York Rangers, on a one-year deal.[6]

Mueller familiarly signed a one-year, two-way contract as a free agent with the Anaheim Ducks on July 1, 2015.[7] In the 2015–16 season, Mueller was assigned to newly relaunched AHL affiliate, the San Diego Gulls. He continued his offensive prowess in the American League, contributing with 57 points in 63 games.

Unable to feature with the Ducks, Mueller left at the conclusion of his contract to sign as a free agent to a one-year, two-way deal with the Arizona Coyotes on July 1, 2016.[8]
