Stop me if you’ve heard this one before. The Arizona Coyotes have started the season playing well, they have out shot their opponents 68-55, and they have dictated a lot of the pace of the game. But despite all of that they have been outscored 3-1 through two games.
Since Rick Tocchet took over as head coach of the Coyotes they have tended to start fairly weak. Last season they were shut out in three of their first four games, and the prior season they didn’t get a win until their twelfth game of the season.
