Last night, the Arizona Coyotes got clobbered 7-1 by the Chicago Blackhawks. This is just a hiccup in a trend that’s seen Arizona go 8-2-0. They’re just a point behind the Minnesota Wild for the last wild card spot. The West isn’t super good this season, and the Coyotes are working on exploiting that.
They’re going to come rolling into the Enterprise Center tonight looking to take two points from a Blues team that is short Vladimir Tarasenko and, if his leg is still sore from a practice injury yesterday, Pat Maroon. The Blues have missed other players throughout this season, and Maroon’s absence can be overcome.
