Coyotes Clash with Avalanche at Mullett Arena in Tempe Showdown

As the Arizona Coyotes prepare to host the Colorado Avalanche at Mullett Arena in Tempe, fans are eager to see if their team can continue their recent performance trends. The Coyotes have shown a mix of results in their past games, which could make for an unpredictable and exciting matchup.

In their last game against the Tampa Bay Lightning, the Coyotes secured a 3-1 victory on home ice. They demonstrated strong defensive play with 30 saves and a save percentage of nearly 97 percent. Offensively, they capitalized on even-strength opportunities by scoring all three goals during regular play while maintaining a shooting percentage of 11 percent.

However, consistency has been challenging as evidenced by the previous game against the Vegas Golden Knights where they managed to pull off a shutout win with two goals scored late in the third period and an empty-netter sealing it. Their goaltender was impenetrable that night, stopping all 34 shots faced.

The game prior presented more challenges when facing off against St. Louis Blues at home; despite scoring five goals and having an impressive shooting percentage of 20 percent, they fell short by one goal as defense allowed six past them.

These mixed outcomes highlight that while Arizona can be potent offensively and resilient defensively on any given night, maintaining this balance is key for success against high-caliber teams like Colorado.

Mullett Arena's intimate setting could provide an additional edge for the Coyotes due to its smaller capacity creating a more intense atmosphere that often energizes home teams. With recent performances showing potential for both offensive explosiveness and solid goaltending when needed most, fans should anticipate an engaging contest where every shift counts.

The upcoming game is scheduled for December 1st at Mullett Arena with puck drop set for local time (Mountain Time Zone). Fans unable to attend can catch live coverage through ESPN+ nationally or via local networks SCRIPPS and ALT channel 681.
