As the Arizona Coyotes prepare to host the Florida Panthers at Mullett Arena on January 3, fans are eager to see if their team can continue its recent trend of gritty performances. The Coyotes have shown a remarkable ability to bounce back, as evidenced by their last few games.

In a thrilling encounter against the Colorado Avalanche, the Coyotes emerged victorious with a 5-4 win in overtime. This game highlighted their offensive prowess, with an impressive shooting percentage of 18 percent and five goals scored at even strength. However, they will need to tighten up defensively as they allowed four goals against.

The previous game saw a different outcome for the Coyotes when they faced off against the same Avalanche team but fell short in a 1-4 loss. Despite this setback, there were positive takeaways from their powerplay performance where they capitalized once on three opportunities.

Looking further back at another past game versus the Anaheim Ducks, Arizona's defense was impenetrable as they shut out their opponents with a solid goaltending performance that boasted a save percentage of 100 percent and two points scored across all periods.

The upcoming match promises to be an exciting one with both teams bringing unique strengths to Mullett Arena. The Coyotes' resilience and ability to strike back after losses could play a crucial role in this contest. Fans should expect an intense battle where every shift counts and special teams could tip the scales.
