Arizona Coyotes Set to Battle Los Angeles Kings at Crypto.com Arena

As the Arizona Coyotes prepare to take the ice at the Crypto.com Arena against the Los Angeles Kings, fans can anticipate a game where recent trends could play a significant role. The Coyotes have shown a mixed bag of performances in their past few outings, which may influence their approach to this upcoming contest.

In their most recent game at Mullett Arena against the Anaheim Ducks, the Coyotes secured a narrow victory with a scoreline of 2-1. Their goaltending was particularly impressive, boasting a save percentage near 97 percent. However, they gave away possession 12 times and incurred six penalties for 15 minutes. Despite these setbacks, they managed to capitalize on powerplay opportunities and demonstrated strong faceoff capabilities with a win rate above 59 percent.


The game prior saw an explosive offensive display from the Coyotes as they put six goals past St. Louis Blues on enemy territory at Enterprise Center. Their shooting percentage was an impressive 14 percent from an aggressive 42 shots on goal. They also excelled in powerplay situations by scoring three goals during man-advantages and maintained over half of faceoff wins.


However, it's worth noting that in another previous match-up against New York Islanders at UBS Arena, Arizona struggled to find the net despite taking fourteen shots and failed to convert any of their three powerplays into goals. This inconsistency will be something for fans to keep an eye on as they hope for more reliable performances moving forward.


The venue itself could play into how both teams perform; Crypto.com Arena is known for its energetic atmosphere which can either galvanize or intimidate visiting teams like the Coyotes.


Fans can catch all the action from this intriguing NHL matchup scheduled for October 25th at 02:30 AM UTC (October 24th local time). The game will be broadcasted nationally via ESPN+ and locally through BSW and SCRIPPS networks.
