New York Rangers Eye Victory in Desert Duel with Arizona Coyotes

As the New York Rangers prepare to face off against the Arizona Coyotes at Mullett Arena, fans are eager to see if their team can maintain their recent momentum. The Rangers have been showcasing a strong offensive game, as evidenced by their last three matches. Despite a loss against the Tampa Bay Lightning where they scored 3 goals, they bounced back with an impressive 7-goal performance against the Pittsburgh Penguins and continued their scoring streak with 5 goals versus the New York Islanders.

The Rangers' shooting percentage has been remarkable in these games, hitting a high of 25 percent against the Penguins. Their power play opportunities have varied but were capitalized on efficiently during that same game, scoring twice out of three chances. While faceoff win percentages have fluctuated, they managed to dominate in this area during their latest match with a solid 56 percent.


Defensively, goaltending has been reliable for the Rangers; saving all but one even-strength shot against both the Islanders and Penguins shows resilience in net. However, maintaining discipline will be crucial as penalty minutes have consistently appeared across recent games.

Mullett Arena could play a significant role in this upcoming encounter. As an away venue for New York Rangers and known for its unique atmosphere due to its smaller size compared to typical NHL arenas, it may present an additional challenge for them.


Fans can catch all the action from Mullett Arena on March 30th at 6:00 PM MST on ESPN+, MSG Network or SCRIPPS TV networks. With both teams looking to assert dominance on ice, this matchup promises excitement and high energy as each team battles for victory under Tempe's desert sky.
