The Arizona Coyotes are in a playoff spot 40 games into the 2015-16 season. They were destined by many to scrape the bottom of the league and battle for Auston Matthews.
Here they are, though, and it seems like every other week a new player is stepping up and putting the team on it’s back.
Early on it was Max Domi, Anthony Duclair, and Tobias Rieder. Martin Hanzal figured in there for a while. Then it shifted to Mikkel Boedker, and more recently Shane Doan and Louis Domingue.
