2019-20 Arizona Coyotes season

The 2019–20 Arizona Coyotes season was the 41st season for the National Hockey League (NHL) franchise that was established on June 22, 1979, the 24th season since the franchise relocated from Winnipeg following the 1995–96 NHL season, and the 48th overall, including the World Hockey Association years.
The season was suspended by the league officials on March 12, 2020, after several other professional and collegiate sports organizations followed suit as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. On May 26, the NHL regular season was officially declared over with the remaining games being cancelled. The Coyotes advanced to the playoffs for the first time since the 2011–12 season and defeated the Nashville Predators in the qualifying round for their first series win since 2012, but were defeated in the first round by the Colorado Avalanche in five games.
