Coyotes Weekly: Hall Making a Colossal Difference in Arizona
Only 24 days have passed since Taylor Hall was acquired by the Arizona Coyotes, but it has become clear that the 28-year-old is already playing a significant role in Arizona's offense. Let's start with the basics: 5-on-5 play. Before acquiring Hall, the Coyotes had scored 61 goals at 5-on-5 in 35 games, just 1.74 per game, and good for only 25th in the NHL. With Hall in the lineup, though, the Coyotes are scoring 2.70 goals at 5-on-5 per game, tied for fifth in the league. Needless to say, that's an immense improvement.

Henderson/Getty Images) Aside from team success, Hall's appearance in the lineup has rejuvenated some of the Coyotes' struggling players - Oliver Ekman-Larsson had just 11 points in his first 35 games, but has 9 in 10 games since Hall arrived. Similarly, Phil Kessel has posted 8 points in his last 10 contests after recording 19 in his first 35. Derek Stepan has nearly doubled his per-game...

In today's goalie news, we'll talk about a general manager backing his netminder. Plus, we'll revisit an incredibly historic night in the career of a journeyman goaltender. MacLellan Backs Holtby With the trade deadline fast approaching, any player at the end of his contract is sure to be the subject of some speculation, especially if he has a young, up-and-coming potential replacement breathing down his neck. Such is the case for Vezina Trophy and Stanley Cup-winning Washington Capitals goaltender Braden Holtby. With his contract up at the end of the year, and Ilya Samsonov getting more and more starts, there is no shortage of questions about the situation between the pipes in America's capital city. Washington Capitals goaltender Braden Holtby (James Guillory-USA TODAY Sports) Compounding issues is the reality that Holtby's performance this year has been less than stellar. His record is fine at 18-7-4, but his underlying numbers are weak: a save percentage (SV%) of...
