Last night the Phoenix Coyotes were playing against the Chicago Blackhawks in Chicago, they scored first and second but the Hawks were able to send the game into overtime where Mikkel Boedker managed to find the hole in Corey Crawford's pads to win the game. It was in a lot of respects a repeat of Tuesday's game, Yotes had a lead but lost it and Boeds found a way to win it for the team with a soft goal. But thankfully soft goals win games, especially in this series, and the Coyotes are up 3-1 with the next game being played at Jobing.com Arena on Saturday, and the Desert Dogs need just one more win to clinch the series and for the first time move beyond the first round of the playoffs. Its a little to early to celebrate though, the Blackhawks have proven then can come back during games, can they came back and take the series? Hopefully not.

After the jump we have news from the Coyotes, coverage of last nights game, and news from around the hockey world all after the jump.

Interesting note: Chris Lund thinks that Crawford may not be in goal for game five. Not sure the Blackhawks want to go with Ray Emery for their must win game though.

Dan McNeil is like that really catty girl in high school. He has to write about the fact that the opposing team's goaltender is beating them because its his job, but he has to throw in a bunch of snide comments you usually see in a fan site's comment thread.

Oh Bissonnette. Hey it didn't hurt and it may have helped with the momentum. Biz needs to be more careful in the future though, his fourth line is useful.
