Clash at Mullett Arena: Arizona Coyotes Face Off Against Anaheim Ducks

As the Arizona Coyotes prepare to host the Anaheim Ducks at Mullett Arena in Tempe, fans can anticipate a game filled with strategic plays and intense competition. The Coyotes have shown a mixed bag of results in their recent outings, which could influence their approach to the upcoming match.

In their last three games, the Coyotes have experienced varying degrees of success. Their most recent victory against the St. Louis Blues showcased an impressive offensive performance, netting six goals on 42 shots for a shooting percentage of 14 percent. This win was bolstered by a strong powerplay that capitalized on three out of four opportunities and an even-strength faceoff win percentage of 57 percent.

However, this triumph was preceded by a shutout loss to the New York Islanders where they failed to score despite taking 14 shots. The team struggled in faceoffs with only a 34 percent win rate and couldn't convert any of their powerplay chances into goals.

Another close contest saw them fall short against the New York Rangers with just one goal from 27 shots, reflecting a shooting percentage near four percent. Despite these challenges, there were positives such as maintaining over half (54 percent) success rate in faceoffs and limiting penalty minutes.

The fluctuating performances highlight areas for improvement as well as strengths that can be leveraged against Anaheim Ducks. The team's ability to bounce back after losses will be crucial for building momentum throughout the season.

Defensively, goaltending has been solid with save percentages above 90 percent across all games mentioned. This defensive reliability will need to continue if they are to stifle Anaheim's offense.

Mullett Arena will play its part too; as home ice advantage often plays into team morale and fan support could provide an additional boost for Arizona's players.

Fans can catch this exciting NHL matchup live on October 21st at Mullett Arena starting at 20:00 UTC (1 PM local time). Broadcasts are available through ESPN+ online or via BSSC/BSSD/SCRIPPS television networks depending on your location.
