While the Coyotes have played a few road games already this season, the upcoming four-game swing through New York will be the team’s first long road trip of the season. Kicking off Tuesday night at Madison Square Garden against the Rangers, the Coyotes will stay in the New York City area with a game on Long Island against the Islanders on Thursday, followed by a game Friday across the river against the New Jersey Devils. The trip will wrap up next Monday in Buffalo.
Last season with the Coyotes fighting for a playoff spot, they embarked on their final east coast road trip in late March.
