For a while, one thing Arizona Coyotes fans could hang their hats on was dominance of Edmonton over the past several years.
Earlier this season, we saw that heady streak come to a halt.
Now it appears the Coyotes on-ice ineptitude could allow the Oilers to begin a streak of their own, with the Canadian team getting it’s second straight win over Arizona.
The hallmarks of the 3-1 defeat were typical for what we’ve seen throughout this trying season; turnovers a-plenty and an inability to generate clean shots on net.
Those two factors lead inevitably to the continuance of a season long scoring deficit that now finds the Coyotes at -45 in goal differential on the season, which is second worst in the NHL.
