GLENDALE, Ariz. -- The Arizona Coyotes, like every other NHL team, went into the 2015-16 season filled with optimism.Realistically, they -- and nearly everyone else -- knew it would be a rebuilding year, even after the team got off to a fast start.The Coyotes again have that optimistic slant heading into this season. This time, with a core of talented young players and some veteran additions, they expect to live up to it.Just walking in the rink, you feel it, Coyotes goalie Mike Smith said. You feel a different vibe. You feel like this team can do some damage.Arizonas talented core remains intact, headlined by All-Star defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson, with forwards Max Domi, Anthony Duclair and Tobias Rieder. Captain Shane Doan returns for his 21st season and goalie Mike Smith is back after being sidelined with an abdominal injury most of last season.The Coyotes also were active during the offseason under first-year general manager John Chayka, adding defensemen Alex Goligoski, Anthony DeAngelo and Luke Schenn, along with forwards Jamie McGinn, Radim Vrbata and Ryan White.Whether the group can end a four-year playoff-less run remains to be seen, but theres no reason to think the Coyotes wont improve upon their 35-win 2015-16 season.Youve got to be careful with optimism because theres 29 other teams that have a lot of optimism, too, but I think ours is genuine, Chayka said. I told the guys the other day were not looking to be a mediocre team. Were trying to be the best and we certainly feel we have the skilled players to get there, but its going to take some time to get there.A few more things to look for from the Arizona Coyotes in the 2016-17 season:DOMI AND DUCLAIR: Arizonas two young forwards burst upon the scene last season, giving the franchise the jolt of youth and speed it had been missing. Domi, son of former NHL tough guy Tie, was second on the Coyotes with 52 points and had 18 goals. Duclair, who arrived in a trade with the New York Rangers prior to last season, added 20 goals and 24 assists. Both players are 21 and work well together, so theres no reason to think they wont get better after that dynamic first season together.DOANER RETURNS: Doan took part of the summer to decide whether to return for another season in the desert. It didnt seem like much of a decision after the season he had in 2015-16. Coming off a couple of disappointing, injury-plagued seasons, Arizonas captain was at the top of his game a year ago. Doan seemed to be rejuvenated by the influx of young players on Arizonas roster, leading the Coyotes with 28 goals while chipping in 19 assists. Doan turns 40 next week, but he still has game and is one of top captains in the NHL.SMITHS RETURN: Smith was the key to Arizonas run to the 2012 Western Conference finals, often stealing games for the Coyotes with his stellar play. The past few seasons have been filled with injuries and inconsistency. Smith was limited to 34 games in 2012-13 due to injury and played 32 last season due to abdominal surgery. If he can stay healthy and play well, the Coyotes could make a strong playoff push.OEL RISES: Ekman-Larsson was considered one of the NHLs top up-and-coming defensemen his first few years in the league and has lived up to that hype the past few. The 25-year-old from Sweden has been an All-Star each of the past four seasons and last year led the Coyotes with 55 points, including 21 goals. If the Coyotes make the playoffs, expect him to be a strong contender for the Norris Trophy.IN THE SYSTEM: Chayka, who took over after Don Maloney was fired after last season, has been praised for building up Arizonas minor league system, turning it into one of the best in the NHL. The Coyotes are loaded with top prospects, including centers Dylan Strome, the No. 3 overall pick in the 2015 draft, and Christian Dvorak, who had 121 points for London of the OHL last season. The talent pool is deep in Arizona, setting up the Coyotes to be good for a while once they turn the corner.

CHICAGO -- With the kind of season the Atlanta Braves are having, it figured they might hit into a triple play.But last-place Atlanta ripping into White Sox ace Chris Sale is another matter.Freddie Freeman, Tyler Flowers and Nick Markakis all homered off Sale to lead the Atlanta Braves to an 11-8 victory over the Chicago White Sox on Friday night.Did the Braves, including Flowers -- Sales longtime batterymate in Chicago -- have a special approach against the left-hander?Yeah, but I also think he wasnt as sharp as he usually is, Flowers said. These are the kind of days you hope to face guys of that caliber.The Braves might have scored more if Chicago hadnt turned its third triple play this season in the third -- the only inning Atlanta didnt score against Sale (14-3) in his five innings. The White Sox ace, bidding to become the majors first 15-game winner, allowed 10 hits -- including a career-worst seven for extra bases -- and a season high eight runs.It was kind of a weird game to start off with, but ultimately the good guys came out on top, Freeman said. We havent scored that many runs I think in a while and get that many hits.Atlantas Adonis Garcia had his first four-hit game, including two doubles and two RBI. Gordon Beckham added three hits and Jeff Francoeur had three RBI.Markakis hit his third homer in two nights to boost his season total to five. Freeman had his team-leading 15th and Flowers added a two run shot and an RBI double to help the Braves win their second straight after a four-game skid.The Braves 15 hits equaled a season high for a nine-inning game and included nine for extra-bases.Sale, a candidate to be the ALs starter in next weeks All-Star Game, admitted he wasnt himself.Pretty embarrassing, Sale said. Its about as bad as I possibly think Ive been in a while.Manager Robin Ventura noticed a difference, too.I think velocity-wise, tonight he looked mortal, Ventura said. I dont think it was as sharp and they got some good swings at him.Chicagos Todd Frazier hit his 24th homer and Adam Eaton added solo shot off Atlanta starter Matt Wisler (4-8), who gave up six runs and eight hits in five innings but got his first win since June 16.The Braves scored four runs in the fifth on three straight doubles to the wall to break a 4-all tie.The White Sox became the first team in the majors to turn three triple plays in a season since the 1979 -- when Oaklandd and Boston did it.ddddddddddddWith Chase dArnaud on second base and Beckham on first in the third inning, Freeman hit a soft liner that rookie shortstop Tim Anderson trapped. Anderson tagged dArnaud as he tried to retreat to second for the first out. Anderson stepped on second to force out Beckham, then threw to first baseman Jose Abreu to get Freeman.Anderson said he was part of a triple play for the first time.I was kind of like basketball player in that role, he said. It was just my instincts. It happens so fast.Chicago also turned triple plays on April 22 against Texas and May 18 against Houston.DERBY DAYFrazier, the defending All-Star Home Run Derby champion, is pumped to take his cuts at Mondays competition in San Diego. We have a little plan, Frazier said, and you look at who Im stacked against and there are some big guns.Frazier, second in the American League with 24 homers, will take on Colorados Carlos Gonzalez in the first round and hit second in the matchup, which Frazier prefers. You know how many home runs you need to hit, he said. You know whether you need to speed it up and start cranking at some point, and when to use your timeout.TRAINERS ROOMBraves: RHP Julio Teheran, Atlantas lone All-Star, was cleared to make his regular Saturday against the White Sox after being treated for an infection due to an ingrown hair on his right thigh. If everything goes well tomorrow and he feels good Sunday, hell be available to pitch in the All-Star Game, Im assuming, interim manager Brian Snitker said.White Sox: Manager Robin Ventura shifted 2B Brett Lawrie to DH following Thursdays day off to give the high-energy infielder a two-day break. He throws his body around pretty good, Ventura said. I think it can help him. Carlos Sanchez took Lawries place at second base. . Ventura said theres no timetable on the return of RHP Zach Putnam (right elbow) or 35-year-old INF Justin Morneau, the 2006 AL MVP who is on a rehab stint with Triple-A Charlotte.UP NEXTTeheran (3-7, 2.72) faces Chicago LHP Jose Quintana (6-8, 3.06) in the second game of the series on Saturday. Quintana ended a nine-start winless streak (0-7) last Sunday at Houston. Teheran has never faced the White Sox and Quintana beat the Braves in his only career start against them.
