The Arizona Coyotes take the ice Saturday afternoon for what will be their most crucial game of the season, a chance to move back into playoff position with two points from a win over the St. Louis Blues.
Badly in need of a win after five straight losses, the Coyotes are down to 12 games left in the regular season and are trying to leapfrog over the Blues into fourth place in the West. Plenty can happen even after Saturday that could decide the Coyotes' fate, but in a game that will already be loaded with importance for them, it will also be emotionally charged.
