The Arizona Coyotes either have a big problem, or things are going as planned depending on how you look. Probably not exactly as planned, even if the front office is angling to get a top draft pick, you don’t want to be shut out, but the Coyotes are bad this season by design.
And that was on display last night when the Coyotes fell 3-0 to the New York Islanders, dropping their fifth straight game to open the 2021-22 season.
Things didn’t start terribly for the Coyotes. They had a few good looks and were outshooting the Islanders, but much like Thursday, they could not find the back of the net.
