The Coyotes captured first place in the Pacific Division with a 3-1 win over the Philadelphia Flyers on Thursday.
With the win, the Coyotes (17-9-4) gained sole possession of first place in the division for the first time since Oct. 26, 2015.
It is the latest in the season atop the Pacific Division standings for the Coyotes since the end of the 2011-12 season, a year that featured both the team's lone divisional crown and most-recent playoff berth.
The Coyotes were held to anemic 18 shots but still managed more finishes than the Flyers, who suffered just their second regulation loss at home this season.
