Indeed, the Habs will play their games on opposing rinks until January 3, 2023. After Arizona, the CH will go to Colorado, Dallas, Tampa, Sunrise, Washington and Nashville.
With 30 points, Martin St-Louis’ men are in last place in the Atlantic Division standings and have lost their last three games.
But the Coyotes are doing worse. With 24 points, they are second to last in the Central Division standings, six big points ahead of the miserable Chicago Blackhawks. They are, however, 4-3-1 this season at home.
Jake Allen and Karel Vejmelka should be the starting guards for the duel. The Canadian is scheduled to practice at 1:30 p.m. Eastern Time.
