A win over the 2022-23 Arizona Coyotes shouldn’t be something to be proud of, and yet this one kind of was.
We’ve spent years watching this team get outplayed by better teams and then play down to teams they should be able to beat. Coming off two electrifying wins over the two teams they might actually have a chance of overtaking in the playoff race this year, this game felt like a bit of a trap for the Ottawa Senators. Instead, they were dominant all night, absolutely crushing their opponents by every measure. I’m not used to this team having good underlying numbers.
