Calgary Flames Set to Ignite Against Arizona Coyotes at Mullett Arena

As the Calgary Flames prepare to face off against the Arizona Coyotes at Mullett Arena, fans are buzzing with anticipation for what promises to be an electrifying game. The Flames have been on a rollercoaster of performance in their recent outings, but there's reason to believe that they will bring the heat in this upcoming match.

Looking back at their last game on January 10th, the Flames demonstrated a remarkable offensive prowess by netting six goals against the Ottawa Senators. Their shooting percentage was an impressive 17 percent, and they managed to score four times in just one period. This kind of scoring outburst is exactly what fans hope to see replicated when they take on the Coyotes.


Despite a less than stellar faceoff win percentage of 45 percent in that game, Calgary's aggressive play led them to victory. They also showed resilience and adaptability by bouncing back from a previous loss against the Chicago Blackhawks where they fell short despite putting up three goals and maintaining a higher faceoff win percentage of 57 percent.


The Flames' ability to maintain pressure and create scoring opportunities even when shorthanded was evident during their clash with Philadelphia Flyers on January 6th. Although it resulted in a loss, Calgary managed not only two goals but also held their own defensively with goaltending saving 39 shots out of 42 – showcasing that even under duress, this team can perform.


What stands out for Calgary is not just their ability to score but also how they manage physical play. With hits totaling 24 against Ottawa Senators and another robust defensive showing with blocked shots tallying up across these games, it's clear that physicality will be part of their strategy moving forward.


The Arizona Coyotes should not be underestimated though; every team has its strengths and can surprise you on any given night. However, based on recent performances and statistics alone, it seems likely that CGY has what it takes both offensively and defensively to control this game if they stick to their strengths – aggressive offense paired with solid defense.


Fans eager for action can catch this matchup scheduled for January 12th at Mullett Arena in Tempe at local time (7:00 PM MST). The game will be broadcasted nationally via ESPN+ online platform as well as locally through SCRIPPS TV network for those who prefer traditional viewing methods. Don't miss what promises to be an exciting battle as CGY looks set ablaze once more!
