The Arizona Coyotes haven’t had a history filled with success. The team is on the tail end of a rebuild and has only made the playoffs once since its run to the Western Conference Final in 2012.
However, this season might be the turning point for the organization. After an offseason full of new additions, the young Coyotes team could be in the mix to clinch a wild-card spot in the West. They open the season Friday on the road against the New Jersey Devils.
After playing with future Hall of Famers Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin for the past four seasons, Zucker is now alongside players who are just starting their careers but might be future stars in the making like Logan Cooley and Dylan Guenther, which is a whole new challenge compared to Zucker’s time in Pittsburgh.
With all the hype around him, the young forward is excited to play his first-ever NHL game in front of the people who helped him get to this point. “I think we have a much better roster this year,” Keller said. “We have a lot of veteran players, a lot of guys that have been in the league a long time. I think just taking it one game at a time, not looking too far.”
Matt Dumba was also added in the offseason as a free agent. Although his recent past seasons haven’t been anything comparable to his 50-point campaign in 2017-18, this is the first time he’ll be suiting up for an NHL team other than the Minnesota Wild. It’s a change that could pay off in spades for him and the Coyotes.
Karel Vejmelka and Connor Ingram will be the goaltending tandem once again heading into this season. Like others, the two netminders aren’t talked about a lot since the Coyotes haven’t really been world-beaters on the ice since they’ve arrived but they are a very good tandem. Vejmelka actually had a .900 save percentage on a below .500 team with a defense in front of him that barely had any NHL-caliber defensemen after the trade deadline.
