Coyotes Set to Howl at PNC Arena Against Carolina Hurricanes

As the Arizona Coyotes prepare to take on the Carolina Hurricanes at PNC Arena, fans are looking forward to what promises to be an engaging NHL matchup.

In their last game against the Colorado Avalanche, the Coyotes struggled with a shooting percentage of just four percent and faced a tough loss with only one goal scored. Their powerplay managed to convert once out of three opportunities but overall, they were outplayed in both faceoff win percentage (43 percent) and even-strength goals.


However, looking back at their game before that against the San Jose Sharks provides a more optimistic view. The Coyotes came out on top with five goals and an impressive shooting percentage of 17 percent. Their powerplay was effective again, scoring once during three chances while also showing improvement in faceoffs with a win rate of 51 percent.


The most recent home game for Arizona saw them secure victory over the Ottawa Senators at Mullett Arena. They demonstrated resilience by overcoming an early deficit to score four goals from 38 shots (11 percent shooting). Faceoff performance was strong at 54 percent wins, indicating good control over puck possession.


These fluctuating performances suggest that consistency is key for Arizona as they approach their next challenge. The venue may play its part too; PNC Arena is known for its vibrant atmosphere which could influence the game's dynamics.


Fans can catch all the action live on January 28th where ESPN+, BSSO, and SCRIPPS will broadcast this thrilling encounter between two competitive teams eager for victory. Will Arizona carry forward their winning momentum or succumb to pressure away from home? Only time will tell as we eagerly await puck drop.
