In only a one-week span, the season series between the Arizona Coyotes (14-13-2) and Buffalo Sabres (13-15-2) concludes tonight having already seeing each other on Dec. 11.

The Sabres’ aggressive forecheck and speed created a plethora of problems in the Coyotes’ defensive zone, which resulted in ‘Yotes goaltender Karel Vejmelka having to combat adversity right from the initial whistle.
To his credit, it was Vejmelka’s first game back guarding Arizona’s crease since Nov.
