Coyotes and Wild Clash in Tempe: A Battle for Dominance at Mullett Arena

As the Arizona Coyotes prepare to host the Minnesota Wild at Mullett Arena on February 15, fans are eager to see if their team can continue its recent momentum. The Coyotes have shown a mixed bag of performances in their last few outings, with a notable victory against the Ottawa Senators where they scored four goals and secured a win with a ten percent shooting accuracy. This was followed by an impressive five-goal game against the San Jose Sharks, showcasing their offensive capabilities.

However, consistency remains an issue as evidenced by their subsequent game against the Colorado Avalanche where they managed only one goal and suffered from a significant minus twenty plus-minus rating. Despite these fluctuations, there are positive signs; particularly in power play situations where they capitalized once out of three opportunities against both Ottawa and San Jose.

The goaltending has been solid with save percentages rounding up to one hundred percent across all strength scenarios during these games. This defensive reliability will be crucial when facing off against Minnesota.

Playing at home should give the Coyotes an edge as they look to leverage Mullett Arena's intimate atmosphere – with its 5,000-seat capacity – into tangible support that spurs them on. The team's resilience will be tested as they aim to improve upon areas such as faceoff win percentages which have hovered around fifty-four percent recently.
