Winnipeg vs. DallasThis week is a huge one for the Coyotes, whose offence has suddenly dried up. Granted this team’s strength has been defence and goaltending all year, but when they went 13-4-0 from Feb. 9 to March 15, Arizona averaged 2.88 goals per game. Last week, an 0-3-1 stretch, the Coyotes scored just four times against Tampa Bay, Florida, New Jersey and the Islanders.
In a star-driven league, Arizona’s biggest issue with its offence is that they don’t have a stud to lean on. Clayton Keller, while great, is the lowest leading scorer of any of the NHL’s 31 teams with 46 points in 76 games. In that Feb. 9 to March 15 stretch of success when goals were coming at a good rate, Vinnie Hinostroza, Oliver Ekman-Larsson and Alex Galchenyuk were the team’s primary contributors. They may not have one stud, but in theory they have various weapons that could get hot.
Last week, Arizona was still shutting down the competition by allowing an average of just 26 shots against per game — they even had more high danger chances than Tampa Bay in that 4-1 loss. There’s no issue with that side of their game. This week Arizona plays three teams they’re directly competing against for a playoff spot: Chicago, Colorado and Minnesota.
Nashville, meanwhile, clinched its playoff spot and stayed within two points of the Jets for first place with a 1-0 win against a Minnesota Wild team whose season is teetering on the edge of elimination. The Wild will be thankful to head out on the road now because they’ve had a difficult stretch at home, but their first stop is Vegas on Friday night, followed by Arizona on Sunday.
