A lot can happen in thirty two games. Despite dealing with some serious injuries the Coyotes are only two points out of a playoff spot in an extremely weak Western Conference. The final stretch of the season isn’t going to be easy, but before the break the Coyotes managed to string together some impressive wins. If they are able to keep it up they may find themselves in the playoffs for the first time since 2012.
Injuries to the Coyotes have given opportunities for other players to step up. The biggest story is Conor Garland, who came up for the Tucson Roadrunners and has scored nine goals in 23 games.
