1. What do you think is the Coyotes’ biggest strength going into the playoffs?
Carl: I imagine that this matchup, like the Coyotes last playoff matchup against the Nashville Predators, will be a goaltending battle. While the Predators aren’t as reliant on Pekka Rinne as they were during the 2011-12 series, the Coyotes may be more reliant on their goaltending. Before the season was cut short the Coyotes were getting stellar goaltending from Darcy Kuemper and Antti Raanta, and they kept them in the season during stretches when the offense faded.
