Coyotes Set to Clash with Red Wings at Little Caesars Arena

As the Arizona Coyotes prepare to face off against the Detroit Red Wings at Little Caesars Arena, fans are eager to see if their team can continue their recent performance trends. The Coyotes have shown a strong offensive presence in their past few games, with an impressive 18 percent shooting percentage in their latest victory over the Washington Capitals. Their powerplay has been particularly effective, scoring twice on six opportunities and boasting a 62 percent faceoff win rate during those powerplays.

Defensively, Arizona has also been solid. They've managed to block a significant number of shots and have seen their goaltender save every shot faced during even-strength play in the last game. This defensive reliability will be crucial as they go up against a Detroit team that is sure to test them.


The Coyotes' recent success can be attributed to both their disciplined play and ability to capitalize on scoring opportunities. With only seven penalties in the last game and maintaining control of the puck with fewer giveaways than takeaways, they've kept themselves out of trouble while putting pressure on opponents.

However, it's worth noting that consistency is key for Arizona as they had experienced a loss prior to their latest win where they struggled with penalty minutes due to major misconducts and saw less success on special teams.


Fans should expect an exciting matchup as both teams will look to establish dominance early on. The venue may pose its own challenges for Arizona; playing away from home always adds an extra layer of difficulty but based on recent performances, the Coyotes seem ready for the challenge.

The upcoming game is scheduled for March 14th at 23:00 UTC at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit. Fans can catch all the action live on ESPN+ via internet streaming or tune into BSDET or SCRIPPS networks for television broadcasts.
