Are Arizona Coyotes Ready to Shock the Hockey World?
After a dismal start to the season that saw the Coyotes lose their first 11 games, they have quietly started to turn things around. They have won 4 of their last 6 games, and are now just 3 points out of a playoff spot.
So, what has changed? For one, the Coyotes have gotten healthier. Several key players, including Clayton Keller and Jakob Chychrun, have returned from injuries. Additionally, the team has made some key additions, including Phil Kessel and Anton Stralman.
But perhaps the biggest change has been the play of goalie Karel Vejmelka. The 25-year-old Czech has been a revelation this season, posting a 2.64 GAA and a .918 save percentage. He has been a major reason for the Coyotes' recent success.
With Vejmelka playing well and the team getting healthier, the Coyotes are starting to look like a legitimate playoff contender. They have a young and talented core, and they are finally starting to gel.
