.@ARaanta31 will start in goal for @ArizonaCoyotes tonight vs. @EdmontonOilers. Raanta is 2-1-1 in his past 4 starts & stopped 107 of 115 shots in those games, a .930 save percentage. If you look closely, you'll notice he's wearing a new mask designed by @artofdave... https://t.co/seh0EghuaY

Rick Tocchet after 4-2 loss to @EdmontonOilers: "We beat ourselves, same song and dance. A couple of guys gave the puck away and besides that, for the most part, after this break I thought we did a pretty good job."

Lines and pairings all the same at #Yotes practice today. Rinaldo skating with Dvorak line and Hamilton skating with Richardson line. Connauton and Schenn rotating with Goligoaki.

I think some of you misinterpreted this, so my apologies on that. Meant that Rinaldo was the extra skater on third line and Hamilton the extra on the fourth. As I said, lines and pairings all the same. #Yotes

.@ArizonaCoyotes d-man @jasondemers5 on playing at Nashville tonight: "I always found it tough to play there when I started, but it's getting to a whole other level. It's fun to play there. It can be intimidating. Their fans are rowdy. It's cool to see and cool to be part of it."

My favorite play last night:

Good sign for @OEL23 in that he's posted back to back "plus" games for the first time this season. He was +1 Tuesday vs San Jose and +1 last night in Nashville.
