The most critical stretch of games of the season begins tomorrow night for the Arizona Coyotes (67 games and 72 points) with a visit to Canada to face the Vancouver Canucks (65 games and 74 points). The Canucks sit precariously in the top wild card position, having lost their past three games and ultimately being leapfrogged by the Calgary Flames (67 games and 75 points). The Flames are in fact who the Coyotes play next Friday after the game in Vancouver.
The final game in this brief Canadian road trip occurs against the Winnipeg Jets ( 67 games and 72 points), who host the Buffalo Sabres tonight, on Monday evening.
