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.[2][3] On May 26, the NHL regular season was officially declared over with the remaining games being cancelled.[4] The Coyotes advanced to the playoffs for the first time since the 2011–12 season and are scheduled to face the Nashville Predators in the qualifying round.
