It's safe to say that the Arizona Coyotes are glad to put 2017 behind them. While nobody is going to say that the Coyotes are a good team all of a sudden, they definitely are playing like a better team and have a better record to show for it.
In January they have a 3-1-4 record. That’s not a stellar record, but compared to the start of the season it is a huge improvement. The fact that they can take good teams like the Nashville Predators or the San Jose Sharks to overtime is leaps and bounds compared to the team that didn’t get their first regulation win until November.
