Welcome to a new installment where we will preview each of the other NHL teams who simply make up the bulk of the league the Avalanche play in. Today, we look at the Arizona Coyotes.
Their head coach: Dave Tippett. A coach whose most notable achievements have been making it to the playoffs with the Stars in the mid 2000s before running into the indestructible buzzsaw that is/was the Colorado Avalanche. He’s spent almost all of this century coaching in the NHL with warm weather teams in the Kings, aforementioned Stars, and the Coyotes since 2009.
