The Arizona Coyotes Pacific Division watch as of December 16th
By Jim Lynch
The Arizona Coyotes have been playing out of their minds so far this season. Through consistent team play and great goaltending they currently find themselves on top of the Pacific Division.
However, it is always good to look at where your divisional opponents stand in comparison throughout the season. Today we are going to look at the teams Arizona has to play most often.
When you are competing for a playoff spot it is always important to find a way to win games against your divisional opponents. It does not matter if you are playing the best teams in the division or the worst, you have to find a way to win.
The ‘Yotes have a record of 6-3-3 as of right now against Pacific Division rivals. That is an alright record, but I would prefer 12-0 wouldn’t everyone? More often than not the teams that take the top spot in the division win it from within. While it is important to win games against the Central, Metropolitan, and Atlantic, it is more important that the Coyotes win their games from within.
Let’s look at all the teams in the Pacific to know what to watch for the next time the ‘Yotes drop the puck against their divisional opponents.
