Arizona already was given their NHL all-star when Darcy Kuemper was voted to the game due to his great play this season. However, that was Arizona’s only candidate, but that changed when the NHL showcased their last man in challenge.
The Coyotes had the best record almost two weeks ago, but considering the team fell off they fell in the standings. Although this team impacts the team in the standings, it also has an impact on their all-star appearance. The top teams in each division get to have their coach serve as the leader in the all-star game, that is why Arizona will not have their coach at the game.
