Despite picking up just one point in three games since returning from the All-Star break, the Arizona Coyotes are still just three points away from the wildcard spots.
The Coyotes also have a game advantage over the Vancouver Canucks, who are sat in the final wildcard place, and they could close the gap to just one point with a win.
After struggling through a tough road trip, playing games against the San Jose Sharks, Nashville Predators and Dallas Stars, the Coyotes now have four home games over the next five games to get back on track.
But that might be more difficult than expected, with Rick Tocchet‘s team currently holding a stronger record on the road than at home.
