The day started off with news the Coyotes and their fans had been anticipating for three years. “It’s very rewarding to know that our players have to put that on the backburner and just move forward and try to do whatever they can to help us win.” “The organization, obviously there’s been some adversity a lot of teams don’t have to go through,” Coyotes coach Dave Tippett said. Capping a momentous day, the Coyotes celebrated news of a new owner with a 2-1 win over the Nashville Predators on Monday night to reach the conference finals for the first time in 33 years as an NHL franchise.
