The break is over.
Players have returned from their vacations, laced up their skates and shifted their minds back to hockey after a nine-day hiatus away from the ice. They didn't get a break from each other, however.
A group of around around a dozen Coyotes players and their respective wives and girlfriends traveled to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico for a getaway. Given that the Coyotes hadn't been playing their best hockey prior to the break, there was a sense that a vacation was good medicine for a team that had hit recently hit a wall.
Now the Coyotes play three games in four nights, the first coming on Wednesday against the Anaheim Ducks.
