When you go back and look at when the 2014-15 version of the Arizona Coyotes, and compare it to the current season version there are some startling differences.
First of all — their record. Last season after 37 games they were 14-16-4 for 32 points. This season they are 18-16-3 for 39 points. Seven points doesn’t sound like a radical difference, but the team went into meltdown on February 10, 2015 until March 24, 2015 and only gained five points in 20 games.
