After the Arizona Coyotes had their point streak snapped at seven games, the talk turned fairly quickly to goaltending.
More precisely, the conversation centered around who should have started Saturday afternoon’s game in net.
Anders Lindback got his first start since December 29th against Chicago. He promptly gave up two goals on just 16 shots. The calls for Louis Domingue started early and lasted the duration of the 2-0 loss to New Jersey.
For whatever issues they had in net or on special teams, the overall 5-on-5 play of the Arizona Coyotes was greatly improved during the previous week.
They outshot every team they faced and did everything short of put the puck in the net against Cory Schneider and the Devils.
Let’s take a look at who rose and fell last week.
