GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Suddenly, the Arizona Coyotes are taking on an entirely new look.
They are riding a four-game winning streak -- their first in more than two years. And now, going into their Thursday night home game against the Calgary Flames, they've got a brand-new goaltender in Darcy Kuemper, who was acquired Wednesday from the Los Angeles Kings.
The Coyotes still possess the NHL's worst record at 17-32-10, but the final two months of the NHL season aren't feeling at all like their dismal first four months.
And that back-to-back road trip to Las Vegas and Arizona is feeling a lot tougher for the Flames, who are scratching for points as they try to play their way into the postseason.
