It took 81 games, but the Arizona Coyotes are officially eliminated from the playoffs. The Coyotes have had issues all season, and the final race for a Wild Card spot put those issues under the magnifying glass. There will be plenty of time to look back on the season, but before that happens Arizona has one last game.
Despite getting eliminated the Coyotes managed to get a win on Thursday night against the Vegas Golden Knights. Arizona has struggled against the Golden Knights since they came into the league, and with Vegas scoring early it seemed liked like history would be repeating itself.
