Coyotes Tracks - January 25, 2012 - Afternoon Edition

The Phoenix Coyotes broke their losing streak last night in Glendale. They defeated the Ottawa Senators and their former teammate Kyle Turris by a score of 3-2. While the Yotes head into the All-Star break on a winning note, their is much work to be done over the season's final 32 games if they want to make the playoffs.

We've got post game items, ownership related links, recaps from last night's other Pacific Division contests, as well as a special request in the Final Howl.

Ottawa Senators @ Phoenix Coyotes Preview - Filibuster the Sens

In what will be the last game before a much needed All-Star respite, the Phoenix Coyotes will take on the Ottawa Senators tonight in only the 19th contest between the clubs. The Sens will be hoping to secure two points and a bit of momentum with a win before retuning home to host the midseason festivities in Ottawa. The home team, on the other hand, is limping towards the break with over a month's worth of middling play, and tonight's game presents the last opportunity for improvement before a long break to dwell on things. Following a worrisome 4-3 loss at the hands of the Tampa Bay Lightning, a margin that appears deceptively close thanks to a pair of futile late goals, the Desert Dogs should be desperate for a win. A loss tonight would be Phoenix's seventh in their last eight games and would drop their season record, which currently sits at 21-20-8, to the .500 mark of mediocrity. Stuck in neutral at the 12th spot in the conference standings for weeks now, the Coyotes must get things in gear and begin their push to the playoffs. A win tonight would leave the team 2 points out of the 8th and final playoff berth, but the Coyotes would only be 6 points away from chasing down the San Jose Sharks for the ever elusive Pacific Division crown.

The visiting squad tonight could very well be a distracted bunch, with thoughts of hotel reservations, family plans and All-Star responsibilities likely swimming through many Senators minds. Due to the fan-based voting system for the All-Star selection process, four Senators will take the ice on Sunday: Erik Karlsson, Jason Spezza, Milan Michalek and team captain Daniel Alfredsson. These four are all obviously key contributors for Ottawa and if their focus wanes for a few shifts in anticipation of the break, the Coyotes could make quick work the slumping Sens. Although Ottawa boasts a respectable record of 27-18-6, the Sens have struggled on their recent three-game Western road swing, posting losses to the Anaheim Ducks and the Los Angeles Kings in their last two games. Ottawa's offense was contained Monday night in a 4-1 loss to the Kings, and a big time performance by Coyotes netminder Mike Smith may just shut them down again tonight. The puck will drop at 7:00pm local time and the game will be televised by Fox Sports Net Arizona. You can find your Five for Winning, Key Players and injury updates after the jump...

Dog Caller - January 23, 2011 - Arizona Sundogs Battle Top Teams In Berry Conference

01-18_0401_medium

The Arizona Sundogs sought to continue their surge in the second half of the season with three games this week against the top two teams in their conference; one against the Wichita Thunder and two against the Allen Americans.

On Wednesday night Arizona met Wichita and neither team could find the back of the net until midway through the second period when the Thunder got on the board. Nine minutes into the third period, Sundogs' forward Daymen Rycroft would tie things up, assisted by Kyle Hood and Tyler Butler, and send the game to overtime. As in the first period, neither team would score in the extra frame and the game would go to a shootout. Arizona would be unable to convert on its first three attempts, while Wichita would score all three times and get the win. The Sundogs totaled 49 shots in the game and goalie Scott Reid turned away 38 of the 39 shots he faced.

The Phoenix Coyotes suffered a loss last night against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Well now that that's out of the the way time to move forward and look to the future. We can't dwell on the past, trust me after watching it I had to relive it by writing a post game analysis about it, we have to look to the future while taking with us the lessons that we learned from the game.

In today's tracks we have the post game talks from the Coyotes/Lightning game, we have some news about an injured Coyote, a few articles about the minor league affiliates, and news from the NHL world . . . and beyond.
