Coyotes Set to Howl at the Avalanche in Denver's Ball Arena Showdown

Analyzing past games reveals that Arizona has had its share of ups and downs. A tough outing saw them fall with a single goal against Colorado previously, where they struggled in faceoffs winning only 43 percent and were outscored by three goals during even strength play. However, they bounced back impressively in their next game against San Jose Sharks with a five-goal victory, showcasing an impressive shooting percentage of seventeen percent and dominating powerplay opportunities.


The Coyotes' resilience was further proven in their home victory over Ottawa Senators. They displayed strong defensive capabilities by blocking thirteen shots and winning fifty-four percent of faceoffs which contributed to their four-goal tally.


Despite these victories, consistency remains key for Arizona as they step into the high-altitude challenge at Ball Arena. The venue is known for its energetic crowd and could influence the game's pace as players adapt to different playing conditions.


The upcoming match promises excitement as both teams bring unique strengths to the rink. For Arizona fans eager to catch every moment of action, tune into ESPN+ nationally or SCRIPPS locally on TV channels or online platforms for live coverage starting from 23:00 UTC on February 18th at Denver's renowned arena.
