In what is probably the least surprising story of the Coyotes offseason, Oliver Ekman-Larsson has been named captain. While the Coyotes went without a captain last season, it seemed unlikely that they would repeat that this season, and today they made it official.

Just ask the guy who did the job better than anyone.
Oliver Ekman-Larsson will serve as the fourth captain in #Coyotes history.
