It is game day Arizona Coyotes fans!  The Coyotes will face off against a very tough opponent on Thursday night, but first we have your Morning Howl Report for the day!

The Arizona Coyotes will look to capture their second straight win tonight against Nashville at home. If the Coyotes win this will be their 4th straight game they capture a point. We touched on the importance of winning streaks for the Coyotes moving forward and it is hopefully going to happen this season starting now! (Howlin’ Hockey) 

An interesting angle to follow moving forward for the Coyotes will be who is in the hot seat for the ‘Yotes. With the season continuing to pass change is bound to happen. John Chayka will be forced to make a trade, it is just is not known who will be traded yet.

Niklas Hjalmarsson is irreplacable, and yet the Coyotes are left rying to fill the hole that an injury to Hjalmarsson has left. However what is the best way to do that? Would it be to give the Coyotes defenseman a chance to step up in his absence? Or is it to look elsewhere like maybe trading for some other defenseman. (Howlin’ Hockey)

Hjalmarsson is impossible to replace on the ice, and players like Kyla Capobiano know that.

Check out the full highlight reel of the Nashville Predators last game against the Vegas Golden Knights.
