It's mid-March, and the halfway point of the Arizona Coyotes regular season is here.
Under normal season circumstances, at this point of the year the NHL campaign would be heading down the stretch with playoff positions to be decided. This season, every game has taken on more meaning with only 56 in all, and the Coyotes have time to get back into the postseason picture.
"It's been a unique season and a very different one. Games are flying by, playing every other day. It's tough mentally but you've just got to stay there and stay mentally engaged," Coyotes forward Lawson Crouse said.
