Coyotes defenseman Jakob Chychrun was all the rage on Twitter this past weekend. According to amateur sleuths, he had scrubbed all reference of his current team from his social media accounts during the All-Star break. He had recently followed a bunch of Toronto Maple Leafs players. He had recently followed a bunch of Boston Bruins. He had recently followed a…
Before a Friday meeting at Mullett Arena, the last time the Coyotes had beaten the Boston Bruins was Oct. 9, 2010 in Prague, Czechia, when they won 5-2 behind two goals from Czech native Radim Vrbata. It made sense then that it was another Czech who ended the Bruins’ 19-game winning streak against the Coyotes. Karel Vejmelka made 43 saves in…
The Colorado Avalanche, the Edmonton Oilers, the Toronto Maple Leafs and… the Arizona Coyotes. The first three teams are logical choices when you think of elite power-play units in the NHL.

PITTSBURGH — We’ve told you about TD Garden’s inhospitably, but PPG Paints Arena has been the Coyotes’ true house of horrors. In 10 previous games at Pittsburgh’s 12-year-old arena, the Coyotes were 1-9 and had been outscored 41-11, so when the schedule makers added insult to injury this season by launching the Coyotes’ stretch of 20 road games in their…...

When the Toronto Maple Leafs traded forward Nick Ritchie and a 2025 second-round draft pick to the Coyotes in February for forward Ryan Dzingel and defenseman Ilya Lyubushkin, Sportsnet declared the trade “a heist” and proclaimed Maple Leafs GM Kyle Dubas “a massive winner.” The Maple Leafs had acquired a shot- and scoring-suppressing defenseman in Lyubushkin, they had acquired a…...
Arizona Coyotes forward Nick Ritchie is hoping to put a difficult season behind with a new opportunity in the desert.
It would be hard to find a more disjointed development path than the one that Coyotes center Barrett Hayton has navigated. He is overdue for a sustained run of success.
Coyotes GM Bill Armstrong got an early start on the NHL trade deadline by trading Ilya Lyubushkin and Ryan Dzingel to the Toronto Maple Leafs for Nick Ritchie and a conditional draft pick.
