Can the Oilers Tame the Coyotes at Mullett Arena?

As the Edmonton Oilers prepare to face off against the Arizona Coyotes at Mullett Arena, fans are eager to see if their team can continue their recent trend of strong performances. The upcoming game, scheduled for February 19th, promises to be an exciting clash in Tempe.

Analyzing past games reveals that the Oilers have been on a rollercoaster ride. Their most recent match against the New York Rangers saw them pull off a stunning victory with all four goals scored in the third period, showcasing their ability to rally late in the game. They dominated faceoffs with a winning percentage of 59 percent and blocked an impressive 24 shots while maintaining discipline with only three penalties.

Prior to that triumph, they faced off against the New Jersey Devils and secured another win with six goals scored – all during even-strength play – demonstrating their offensive prowess without relying on powerplays. However, they won less than half of their faceoffs and had zero penalties, which could indicate either disciplined play or a lack of aggressive engagement.

In contrast, a previous encounter with the New York Islanders ended in defeat for Edmonton despite winning over half of their faceoffs and blocking eight shots. A low shooting percentage of just three percent highlighted difficulties in capitalizing on scoring opportunities.

The Oilers' fluctuating performance suggests that while they have explosive potential during even-strength situations – as evidenced by ten goals across two games – consistency remains an issue. Their ability to control puck possession through faceoffs varies significantly from game to game but shows promise overall.

As they head into Mullett Arena against Arizona Coyotes, maintaining discipline while ramping up offensive pressure will be key factors for success. Fans can catch this thrilling matchup live on ESPN+ or SCRIPPS TV networks on February 19th at 21:00 GMT (4:00 PM local time).
