Remember when the Arizona Coyotes beat the Buffalo Sabres at the last minute? It feels like it was only this week.
Tonight the Coyotes play the Sabres in Buffalo just four days after Arizona defeated the Sabres 3-2 in Glendale. This will be the first game the Coyotes play after the NHL Trade Deadline.
When the Coyotes embarked on this East Coast road-trip, it was an open question what the team would look like when they got home. The answer, perhaps surprisingly, turned out to be “not much different”.
After a major move sending Martin Hanzal and Ryan White to Minnesota, the Coyotes opted not to trade Radim Vrbata, and neither Arizona nor Shane Doan saw a market materialize for the captain’s services.
