Blue Jackets Seek Desert Victory Against Coyotes in Tempe

As the Columbus Blue Jackets prepare to face off against the Arizona Coyotes at Mullett Arena in Tempe, fans are eager to see if their team can capitalize on recent performances. The Blue Jackets have shown a mixed bag of results in their past few games, with a close shootout loss against the Ottawa Senators, where they managed to secure two points despite falling short. This was followed by a tough game against the Montreal Canadiens where they failed to score, and another narrow defeat by Nashville Predators that earned them one point.

The Blue Jackets' goaltending has been solid with save percentages rounding up to 100 percent across these matches. However, offensive output has been inconsistent; after failing to find the net against Montreal and only scoring once versus Nashville, there's an evident need for more firepower upfront.

Faceoff win percentages have fluctuated significantly as well – an area that could be crucial for maintaining control of the game. Special teams will also play a key role; while their powerplay capitalized once against Ottawa, it remained unproductive in subsequent games.

Mullett Arena will present its own challenges as a venue with its unique atmosphere and fan base. The Blue Jackets must adapt quickly and harness any energy from this environment into their gameplay.

Fans can catch all the action on March 26th at 7:00 PM MST on ESPN+, BSOH, or SCRIPPS networks as Columbus looks to turn recent close calls into a definitive victory on Arizona's home ice.
