The Coyotes are 2-5-3 their last ten games, the only team in the pacific division with a worse record are the Los Angles Kings who are 2-7-1. Having the second-worst record in the division is not a recipe for a Stanley Cup Playoff team, and because of that, the Coyotes are barely holding onto a playoff spot.
I know that the Coyotes can not play their best throughout the entirety of an 82 game season, but now they are looking less and less like a playoff team. A lot of the comments right now about the Coyotes are about how they are not even a playoff team.
