Coyotes Howl for Redemption at Capital One Arena

As the Arizona Coyotes prepare to face off against the Washington Capitals at Capital One Arena, fans are eager to see how their team will perform after a series of challenging games. The Coyotes have shown resilience in their recent matchups, but they've also faced some tough breaks.

Analyzing the past few games, it's clear that Arizona has been struggling with faceoffs, winning only 42 percent against the Edmonton Oilers and a mere 25 percent in their game against the Carolina Hurricanes. This aspect of play is crucial as it often dictates possession and control of the game.

Despite these challenges, there have been some positive trends. The Coyotes displayed strong defensive tactics with a notable number of blocked shots—21 against Edmonton and 14 versus Carolina. However, they'll need to ramp up their offense as they've been outscored by opponents recently.

The powerplay opportunities were not fully capitalized on in previous games; although they had six chances against Colorado Avalanche, only one resulted in a goal. Improving on this could be key to securing more points on the board.

Goaltending remains solid with save percentages holding steady at 100 percent across all strengths during these matches. This reliability between the pipes will be vital when facing Washington's offensive firepower.

The upcoming game promises to be an exciting one as Arizona looks to improve its faceoff win percentage and capitalize on powerplay opportunities while maintaining their defensive strength and goaltending prowess.

Fans can catch all the action live on March 3rd at 18:00 GMT from Capital One Arena or tune into ESPN+ nationally or SCRIPPS for local TV coverage.
