Will the Dallas Stars Tame the Arizona Coyotes in Tempe's Mullett Arena?

As the Dallas Stars prepare to face off against the Arizona Coyotes at Mullett Arena, fans are eager to see if their team can continue their recent momentum. The upcoming game on March 25th promises to be a thrilling encounter, and based on past performances, there's reason for optimism in the Stars camp.

The Stars have shown a remarkable ability to bounce back after setbacks. Despite a narrow loss to the Florida Panthers with a score of 4-3 on March 13th at American Airlines Center, where they demonstrated resilience and offensive prowess by scoring three goals on even strength and one during power plays out of 30 shots taken. Their goaltending was solid with a save percentage rounding up to 100 percent despite letting in four goals.


Moreover, when they faced off against Los Angeles Kings earlier this month on March 10th, they emerged victorious with an impressive scoreline of 4-1. The Stars' offense was firing on all cylinders as they peppered the Kings' net with 35 shots and managed an empty-net goal that sealed their win. Their defensive play was equally commendable; they blocked seven shots and had a save percentage that rounded up perfectly.

Perhaps most impressively was their performance against Anaheim Ducks on March 9th where they dominated with six goals scored from just as many opportunities during power plays out of their total shot count of 36 – showcasing lethal efficiency that could prove crucial against Arizona.


The Coyotes should not be underestimated though; every game is its own battle. They will be looking to exploit any weaknesses in the Stars' armor, particularly focusing on improving their faceoff win percentage which has been higher than Dallas’ in previous games.

However, given DAL's recent form and high shooting percentages across these matches – including an exceptional seventeen percent against Anaheim – it seems likely that Dallas will carry this firepower into Mullett Arena.


Fans can catch all the action live as it unfolds at Mullett Arena or tune into ESPN+ for internet streaming or BSSW and SCRIPPS for television coverage starting at midnight UTC (which translates into evening hours for local viewers) come Saturday night. Don't miss what promises to be an exciting clash between two determined teams!
