The Coyotes are facing some significant challenges as they begin the second half of the season, and it certainly doesn’t help to be facing the red hot St. Louis Blues on New Year’s Eve. Nevertheless, they are hockey professionals that are paid to make necessary adjustments, and hopefully, the team will do so and rise to this important occasion.
A strong performance and win at home against the Blues would be the perfect way for the Coyotes to celebrate the beginning of a new year. It’s quite the challenge, though, as the Blues are on an 8-game winning streak while the Coyotes have lost three in a row and are heading south.
