The Arizona Coyotes entered the 2021 season with playoff hopes thanks to the reconfigured West Division, but they are falling short of expectations so far.
It may only be a small sample size, but the Coyotes’ 2-4-1 record after their first seven games leaves them dead-last in the division and with plenty of questions that need answering.
The Coyotes’ slow start to the season sees them rank 27th overall in the entire NHL, sitting one point above the Carolina Hurricanes - who have played just three games to date.
