Coyotes’ Kesselring Should Permanently Be in NHL
November 21, 2023 by Cooper Krigbaum
To start the 2023-24 campaign, the Arizona Coyotes have already faced a myriad of injuries and adversity. Currently, they have Jack McBain and Barrett Hayton out for multiple weeks, which stings considering how much they provide to the team. They almost lost Matias Maccelli for an extended period of time, but it was not as serious as originally thought. On the other side of the puck, they have been without Travis Dermott for the past week and will also be missing Jusso Välimäki for an extended period of time.
With that, the Coyotes have enough depth to hold their ground with the injuries they’ve sustained. They have Josh Brown, although he hasn’t been the best this season, causing turnovers and becoming a liability in the defensive zone. However, Michael Kesselring, who got a look last season and is back up with the Coyotes, is making a case to stay in the NHL. In the two games he’s played this season, he’s shown poise and confidence all over the ice, which is why his stay should be permanent.
3 Takeaways From Coyotes’ 4-1 Loss to Kings
November 21, 2023 by Chase Beardsley
The Arizona Coyotes were hoping to beat the Los Angeles Kings for the first time this season after losing to them twice in the past two months. Instead, they got the same result, a 4-1 loss extending their losing streak to two and putting them at an 8-8-2 record. Here are some takeaways from Monday evening.
There’s no downplaying it. The Coyotes for the first time all season struggled on the power play. Although having six opportunities to score on the man advantage including a double minor in the third, the home team couldn’t connect well and Pheonix Copley had an easy night in net turning away 30 shots.
