The Coyotes have done an exceptional job of late by slowing hot players, but can they slow an entire hot team?
Arizona will welcome the streaking Minnesota Wild – winners of their past four games and previous four road games dating to Feb. 6 – for a Thursday night matchup at Gila River Arena.
The Coyotes have won five of their past seven games and are 9-7-5 since the calendar switched over to 2018. Still, while the record represents a step forward for Arizona, it pales in comparison to what the Wild have accomplished over the same stretch.
