Arizona Coyotes Morning Howl Report for January 20th, 2020
By Jim Lynch
The Arizona Coyotes are just beginning their long all-star break. However, we will still be here with your Morning Howl Report to talk about all the newsworthy things from around the league!
Today is January 20th, 2020. With all the newfound time over the next couple of days, we will try and highlight some of the big games to come this season, as well as looking back on some of the more noteworthy events through the first half of the season.
The all-star break is going to be a great thing for the Coyotes. They are the only team in the NHL not sending a player. Although fans might be upset about that, it does mean the entire roster can take some time to rest and recuperate. A few injured and beat up Coyotes will definitely enjoy the rest.
Antti Raanta and Darcy Kuemper have been the backbone of this team all season. Although Raanta did return from his injury in the last game against the Edmonton Oilers some time to heal will definitely help the goaltender. Hopefully, Kuemper can come back as well by the team’s next game. Kuemper has been the best goalie in the league, and this team needs him. (Howlin’ Hockey)
