Coyotes update: Arizona kicked off its road trip on Monday in Winnipeg, the second of three in a row against its new Central Division rivals. The Coyotes previously played out of the Pacific Division before Seattle joined the NHL. Before facing Winnipeg, Arizona had dropped two straight after posting its first two-game win streak. Like in 2017-18, the Coyotes started 0-10-1, which is tied for the second-longest winless streak to open a season. They've also lost seven consecutive games to the Wild.
