Remember once upon a time when GM Don Maloney did that awesome trade with the Avalanche that netted us Wojtek Wolski and we had to give them Kevin Porter and some other guy? That was a really good trade eh? I guess that other guy has gotten them a few points, but the Phoenix Coyotes went on a tear after he left and the Avs have been slipping a bit and are looking to fall to maybe 8th. Eep. Too soon to see who won that deal, but hey, so long as we're winning now am I right? Yeah...
The Coyotes are looking to get fully back on track after a come back overtime loss to Nashville. The Coyotes showed a lot of heart battling back from a 3-1 deficit with 10 minutes left in the game to get one point out of the game, and more importantly broke out of a funk they had been in through the Chicago game and into the Nashville one. they'll need the momentum to finally clinch their playoff spot tonight. Lee Stempniak finally scored again after a brutal 2 game drought (kidding) with the early goal, but it wasn't enough to get us over the top. We'll need to bring it tonight.
The 'Lanche haven't been doing terribly, they just haven't been quite as good as the teams around them. They beat the Kings in overtime on Wednesday, but had lost their previous 3 games. (Ducks, Kings and Flames) They haven't done terribly and really aren't in danger of missing the Playoffs, just in danger of slipping and getting what may not be the best matchup.
Starting Goalies
The only game Bryz probably doesn't play from here on out is one of either the Canucks or Flames games in the back-to-back later this week. I'd say to rest him, but he's still looking sharp. Maybe the defense needs a rest...
They're not putting Budaj in with how much the Avs could use th points right now. Anderson has been outstanding this year, but they need him to continue.... but not tonight...
Key Players
I know I usually put Stempniak here, and he did get the goal the other night, but Wolski still wants to prove something to the Avs. Go out there and do it tonight kid.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
