The Florida Panthers will be facing off against the Arizona Coyotes tonight. On paper, this is a game that they should be able to win with ease. Yet, in this league, nothing is a guarantee, so they certainly cannot take the Coyotes lightly.
At this time, the Coyotes have a 5-18-2 record and are at the bottom of the NHL. This was to expected after the summer they had. Keep in mind, they traded Conor Garland, Oliver Ekman-Larson, Christian Dvorak and Darcy Kuemper in one offseason after a season where they missed the playoffs. This is an entirely different team and one that is embracing their rebuild entirely.
