The Arizona Coyotes are a very good team.
They are deep up front, excellent defensively, and Darcy Kuemper and Antti Raanta quietly make up one of the league’s best goaltending tandems in the league. *The* best if you’re looking at the save percentage leaders this season.
What the Coyotes needed was another high-end offensive player. Ideally, one who can also help tilt the ice in the team’s favor.
They’re scoring 2.15 goals per 60 minutes at 5v5, which slots them 28th in the NHL. The Coyotes are also only controlling 47.98% of the shot share (24th) and 48.
