“Arizona’s top season-ticket price for the ASU arena is $14,350 for a full season for seats near the glass. That ticket and the center ice club seats ($9,840) include club access and concessions. The cheapest full-season ticket is $3,649, for the far corners around the goal where the Coyotes attack in the second period. The median price for tickets under full-season plans is around $157 per game.” [ESPN]

Speaking of Dom, he gives some analysis here on Heavy Playoff Hockey: “When it comes to playoff hockey, playing heavy matters, especially over the last four years.

For four years that’s been the truth about this game, a truth that’s getting more and more difficult to ignore.” [The Athletic ($)]
“The Nashville Predators, San Jose Sharks, Colorado Avalanche and Columbus Blue Jackets will play in the 2022 NHL Global Series. There will be two exhibition games and four regular-season games played in four cities outside of North America next season, the first time the NHL has played international games since 2019.” [NHL]
