The waiting game is just about over. Now in Edmonton, the Coyotes will get their first taste of NHL action at 7 p.m. Thursday against Vegas in their only exhibition game before their qualifying playoff series against Nashville.
The Coyotes fell into the final slot of exhibition games, with almost every team getting in their tune-up before the Golden Knights and Coyotes square off. In that time, Coyotes players and coaches have been keeping up with their competition and picked up on some trends.
"You're watching games and the same guys are scoring and some teams are winning by a lot," coach Rick Tocchet said Wednesday on a conference call.
