It was under three minutes in Nashville and the Coyotes had been playing the Predators, one of the best teams in the league, like a team that isn’t 31st of 31. They were moving pucks, back-checking collectively and putting together a cohesive team effort.
But Nashville found a way to put it home, and the Coyotes collapsed late yet again. This is a young team yes, but at some point the team has to take the lessons to heart and improve. Because improvement is everywhere, but there.
They have improved on the penalty kill leaps and bounds from the last regime.
