Here's a record that I think Scott Wedgewood will hold for all of eternity. He is the only goalie in NHL history to snap two 11-game winless streaks to start a season with the same team.

Since American Thanksgiving, the Coyotes are tied for the most wins in the NHL (11), tied for third in points percentage (.688) and two points behind the New York Islanders for the most points (24) in that span. Is this the real life?

Per team sources, the Coyotes will not tender a qualifying offer to RFA F Christian Fischer, allowing him to become a UFA & sign with another team. This will be a tough one for fans to absorb. Fischer is immensely popular for good reasons; one of my favorite players all-time.

Darcy Kuemper is still in AZ, head spinning. He doesn't know when he'll go to Colorado yet, but he did say he found out about the trade from his agent Ben Hankinson: “I didn’t find out on Twitter or anything, so that’s good.”
