The setup was similar with assistant coach Scott Allen strategizing on the whiteboard while defenseman Jason Demers stood among the players watching the instructions.
But the setting wasn’t, as the two were now with the Coyotes instead of the Panthers.
“He wrote up the same drill,” Demers said. “He hasn’t gotten any more creative on the drills. A nice 2-on-2 rush drill, so it’s great.”
Demers practiced for the first time with his new team Wednesday at the Ice Den in Scottsdale after getting traded from Florida to Arizona Sunday in exchange for winger Jamie McGinn.
