By The Numbers: Arizona Coyotes

We continue our romp around the West Division before the Vegas Golden Knights take the ice as we look at the Arizona Coyotes.
Vegas will play four of its first six games of the season against Arizona as they meet for the first time in a long time on Jan. 18 at T-Mobile Arena.

Before a fresh set of numbers is tossed up on the time clock, sift through the numbers behind the matchup in today's installment of By The Numbers presented by Bridgestone.
2- Reilly Smith scored two goals in the first period when Vegas and Arizona last clashed in their exhibition contest at Rogers Place ahead of the 2020 Stanley Cup Playoffs. In that game, Nicolas Roy (2A) and Alex Tuch (1G, 1A) also registered two points for the Golden Knights.
3- Conor Garland led the Coyotes in scoring against the Golden Knights last season with three points (2G, 1A) in three games.
