It’s been more than a decade since the Arizona Coyotes last got a taste of the Stanley Cup playoffs in an 82-game season, although they did get a chance at the postseason during the COVID-shortened 2019-20 campaign that saw zero fans inside the league’s Canadian bubble.
Right now, Arizona finds itself sixth in the eight-team Central Division, with 40 points on a 19-17-2 record, netting them 25.8% playoff odds per Hockey-Reference.com.
The Coyotes’ current 88.3 point projection, while still on the outside looking in postseason-wise, would be the club’s most in a single season since it notched 89 points in 2013-14.
At the moment, ESPN BET Arizona gives the Coyotes +500 odds to snap their postseason drought. They are -750 to miss the postseason for a 12th 82-game season in a row. With all that in mind, BetArizona.com broke down the NHL’s longest full-season playoff droughts to see where the Coyotes rank.
