The Arizona Coyotes are back in action tonight, hosting the Winnipeg Jets for the first time since March 2020. Arizona hasn’t played a game in a week, having dropped their last game 8-7 to the San Jose Sharks in the shootout.
The Coyotes’ schedule was jam-packed to start the season with plenty of back-to-backs and little rest, but things got flipped-turned upside down thanks to the holiday and COVID-19. Arizona was supposed to play against the Dallas Stars this past Sunday but instead saw another game postponed.
The Yotes definitely looked rusty against the Sharks last week, and another whole week off probably won’t help them much.
