The Arizona Coyotes caught a break when the NHL opted to expand the postseason and return from the pandemic-related shutdown in a pair of Canadian bubbles.
Arizona was a long shot to make the playoffs when the season was halted in March and the rejiggered format puts them in the postseason for the first time since 2012.
The Coyotes also suffered a setback even before they got to the Edmonton bubble.
John Chayka, considered one of the NHL's top general mangers, resigned from his position and was called a quitter by the franchise in a sternly worded news release Sunday.
The news broke the day the Coyotes left for Edmonton. So along with trying to prepare for their Stanley Cup qualifier series against Nashville, which opens Sunday, the Coyotes have to add avoiding outside distractions to their list.
"Yeah, that's been said. A bunch of times. Trust me," Coyotes coach Rick Tocchet said from Edmonton. "Guys have been great, we're focused. It's a focused group and they know how to deal with stuff like that, and we're ready to go."
The Coyotes have certainly had their share of off-ice distractions in recent years.
The NHL ran the franchise for four years after former owner Jerry Moyes took the team into bankruptcy in 2009. The Coyotes reached the 2012 Western Conference Finals but the financial constraints of being run by the league took a toll, in part leading to an eight-year playoff drought.
A new ownership group brought new hope in 2013, but turmoil surfaced again in 2015, when the city of Glendale voted to terminate a 15-year, $225 million lease agreement with the Coyotes for Gila River Arena.
Plans for a new shared arena with Arizona State University fell through in 2017 and the franchise's future in the Phoenix area continued to remain in doubt.
Andrew Barroway gave the Coyotes a bit more financial flexibility when he bought a majority stake in the team in 2017. Current owner Alex Meruelo kept the franchise on an upward climb when he bought the team last year, clearing the way for Arizona to trade for high-scoring forwards Phil Kessel and Taylor Hall.
The Coyotes played well early in the season, but injuries to goalies Darcy Kuemper and Antti Raanta sent them tumbling down the standings to 11th in the Western Conference when the season was halted due to the pandemic.
The new-look postseason put Arizona in the Edmonton bubble and appearing to be in good shape with both goalies, along with Kessel, able to heal.
Then drama hit again.
Chayka, who became the youngest general manager in Northern American sports history at 31 four years ago, reportedly asked Meruelo permission to pursue another professional opportunity. The relationship apparently strained, Chayka was not invited to a dinner with Meruelo and new CEO Xavier Gutierrez to talk with Hall about a contract extension.
Chayka, who signed a contract extension through 2024 earlier this season, tendered his resignation Friday and the team did not hold back in its news release announcing the decision two days later.
"Chayka has chosen to quit on a strong and competitive team, a dedicated staff, and the Arizona Coyotes fans, the greatest fans in the NHL," the team said.
The inopportune timing puts the Coyotes in the position of having to prepare for what should be a tough postseason series against the Predators while trying to shake off yet another off-ice distraction.
Being in a bubble should help them keep focus. So should their history of playing while uncertainty hangs over the franchise, especially in a playoff format that will be new to everyone.
"You work pretty hard to put yourself in position to play in the playoffs and with everything that went on, we're in," Coyotes forward Conor Garland said. "We've just got to take advantage of it. Obviously, our first game, everyone's going to be excited and it's going to be a different situation than anyone's ever had, but it's new to everyone so it's an even playing field."
It will be — if the Coyotes can overcome the outside distractions.

The Nashville Predators have been waiting for more than a year for some postseason redemption, and the NHL's pause didn't help.
The Arizona Coyotes have been trying to get back to any form of playoffs since 2012.
Now the Predators and Coyotes have a best-of-five qualifying series starting Sunday in Edmonton, Alberta, to make sure they stick around in the NHL's postseason bubble.
"We're here to do something," said Nashville defenseman Mattias Ekholm, who got married in June in Sweden. "We're not here to get knocked out early. We want to go as far as you can, as deep as we can. I feel like that's that's even more motivation for me doing it for my family that's back home right now."
The last time the Coyotes were in the playoffs, they reached the Western Conference finals by beating Nashville in five games. The Predators have reached the postseason each of the past five seasons but lost in six games to Dallas in the first round in April 2019.
Arizona also is dealing with a front-office shake-up after general manager John Chayka quit the day the Coyotes left for Edmonton. Steve Sullivan, who played six seasons with Nashville, is now the interim general manager, trying to beat one of his six former teams.
"Chayka has chosen to quit on a strong and competitive team, a dedicated staff, and the Arizona Coyotes fans, the greatest fans in the NHL," the Coyotes said in a statement.
KUEMPER AND RAANTA
The Coyotes essentially have two No. 1 goalies, which could work out well in the condensed schedule of the Stanley Cup qualifiers.
The Coyotes traded for Antti Raanta in 2017 to be their new No. 1 goalie, and Darcy Kuemper shined when he was limited to 59 games in two seasons due to injuries.
Both missed games in the first part of the season with injuries but are healthy now. Kuemper and Raanta were both among the NHL's save-percentage leaders early in the season. Kuemper went 16-11-2 with a 2.22 goals-against average, and Raanta was 15-14-3 with a 2.63 GAA.
NASHVILLE'S CHOICE
Coach John Hynes has a tough decision to make on who starts in net. Pekka Rinne, a four-time Vezina Trophy finalist and 2018 winner, could make his 90th consecutive playoff start in Game 1. The best-of-five series doesn't allow for many mistakes.
Juuse Saros started 19 of Nashville's 30 games after Hynes took over, and the 25-year-old Finn went 11-4-0 with a 2.14 goals-against average over his final 17 appearances. He is a big reason why the Predators won their final three games before the NHL paused play in mid-March.
HEALTHY KESSEL
Arizona made one of the biggest moves of the offseason, picking up Phil Kessel in a trade with Pittsburgh.
A two-time Stanley Cup champion, Kessel was not nearly as productive his first season in the desert as he had been in previous years, in large part due to a string of injuries. Kessel still managed to stretch his consecutive games streak to 844, sixth-longest in history, and finished the regular season with 14 goals and 24 assists.
The time off allowed the 32-year-old a chance to heal, and he could give the Coyotes a big boost when the puck drops in Edmonton.
PICK IT UP
Matt Duchene was one of the big offseason signees after Nashville gave him a seven-year deal, yet he scored the fewest goals (13) in any season of his career. But he has 16 points in 18 playoff games in his career.
Center Ryan Johansen, with the largest contract ever handed out by Nashville, also is trying to turn around a disappointing season. He had only 36 points in 68 games for his lowest scoring output since his rookie season.
HELPING HALL
The Coyotes made another move to boost their scoring during the regular season, acquiring Taylor Hall from New Jersey for three prospects and two draft picks.
Hall had an immediate impact, setting up the winning goal in his first game with the Coyotes and, despite a couple of quiet stretches, had 10 goals and 17 assists in 35 games. For a team that has struggled to score in recent years, Hall could be a difference maker for Arizona in the postseason.
