Coyotes and Blackhawks Clash in the Desert at Mullett Arena

As the Arizona Coyotes prepare to host the Chicago Blackhawks at Mullett Arena on March 6, fans are eager to see if their team can turn around a recent streak of challenging performances. The Coyotes have faced tough competition in their last few outings, with a notable game against the Toronto Maple Leafs where they were outscored 6-3. Despite putting up a solid fight with 35 hits and converting one out of three powerplays, they couldn't overcome the Maple Leafs' offensive onslaught.

Another game that stands out is their encounter with the Edmonton Oilers. The Coyotes managed to net three goals but ultimately fell short as they conceded six points to their opponents. Their faceoff win percentage was notably low at 42 percent, which may have contributed to their inability to control the game's pace.

The most recent away game for Arizona against Colorado Avalanche showed some promise despite another loss. They scored three goals on powerplay opportunities and delivered eight hits but were edged out by just one point in a closely contested match that ended 4-3.

Analyzing these past games reveals certain trends for the Coyotes: while they've been able to score consistently, defensive lapses have cost them victories. Improving faceoff percentages and tightening up defensively could be key factors in changing their fortunes against Chicago.

Mullett Arena will provide an intimate atmosphere for this matchup; its smaller capacity often leads to a louder and more engaging environment which could play into Arizona's hands as they seek home comfort after tough road trips.

Fans can catch all the action live on March 6th at Mullett Arena in Tempe or tune into ESPN+ for internet streaming or SCRIPPS and NBCS-CHI for television broadcasts starting from 02:00 AM UTC (March 5th, local time).
