Coyotes and Flames Clash in Tempe: A Battle of Resilience at Mullett Arena
As the Arizona Coyotes prepare to host the Calgary Flames at Mullett Arena, fans are eager to see if their team can continue their recent trend of resilience. The Coyotes have shown a mixed bag of results in their past few games, but there's an undeniable spirit that could spell trouble for the visiting Flames.
In their last game against the Boston Bruins, the Coyotes pulled off a thrilling victory with a final score that favored them by just one point. This win was characterized by a strong offensive performance, with 11 percent shooting accuracy and an impressive power play goal out of three opportunities. The team also demonstrated solid defense with 17 blocked shots and an even-strength save percentage standing at 100 percent.
However, this victory followed a tough loss to the Winnipeg Jets where they were outscored significantly. Despite this setback, there were positive takeaways; notably, goaltending remained consistent with another perfect save percentage during power plays and shorthanded situations.
The matchup before that saw another narrow defeat for the Coyotes against the New York Islanders. While they only managed one goal on four percent shooting accuracy, they did excel in penalty killing – not allowing any goals during power plays or shorthanded scenarios.
Looking ahead to their game against Calgary Flames on January 12th at Mullett Arena in Tempe, Arizona fans should expect their team to leverage these strengths while aiming for more consistency across all periods. The home advantage might just be what tips scales in favor of our Coyotes as they look to capitalize on every opportunity presented during even strength and special teams play.
