The 2020-21 season is going to be an unusual one. Covid-19 wiped out the end of the 2019-20 season, causing the post-season to be pushed back. This, in turn, pushed back the start of this season, eliminated the pre-season, and lead to a temporary realignment of the divisions.
During this unusual season, the Arizona Coyotes have added complications. Last season was the first time they made it to the post-season since their run to the Western Conference Finals in 2012. They made it past the Nashville Predators in the play-in round but were quickly eliminated by the Colorado Avalanche in five games.
