The fourth place Arizona Coyotes (20-20-5 45 points) face the third place Minnesota Wild (27-13-3 57 points) tonight and Wednesday night at Gila River Arena, and that isn’t necessarily good news.
With a bit of heavenly oversight, the Arizona Coyotes survived their 60 minutes in the frying pan against the St. Louis Blues and now enter the fire against the Wild.
