The Coyotes are coming in with a 7-2-1 record in their last 10 games and currently hold the second wild card spot in the Western Conference, just two points back of the Dallas Stars. In what will be start of the final 10-game stretch of the regular season for both teams, plenty will be on line as Arizona will keep trying to separate themselves from the likes of the Wild, Avalanche and Blackhawks who remain close behind in the “Wild West” wild card chase.
Meanwhile the Bolts will have the ability to lock up their own version of a “triple crown” tonight, as a win will guarantee them the Atlantic Division, Eastern Conference and NHL regular season titles.
