The Coyotes get some bad news after practice on the 5th as LW Rob Klinkhammer goes out with a mild Shoulder Strain. The Coyotes are out of luck as they have to put Klinkhammer on the IR (losing him for an addition 9 days more then needed) but call up young RW Jordan Szwarz from Portland who is a fast moving puck moving forward.
Tonight the Coyotes face a different challenge as they play the Montreal Canadiens (37-22-5). Thomas Greiss will take the net tonight against star goaltender Carey Price (32-18)!
The first period sees a crazy turn of events as on a singly PP the Coyotes Shane Doan is able to score at 12:08 but only TWO SECONDS LATER Montreal's Brendan Gallagher gets a PP goal to tie it back up at 1-1. The score stays the same as the Coyotes and Canadiens head to the break.
The second period opens with the Canadiens on the PP and sees Gallagher net his second PP goal of the night. This is followed by a Jaromir Jagr goal at 6:38 to give the Canadiens a commanding 3-1 lead. It looks as if this is going to be the way the period ends but at 19:30 young stud Marin Hanzal gets the PP goal to get the Coyotes back into the game with 20 minutes of play left.
The third period sees Price and Greiss play amazing as neither team is able to get one past the opposing net minder and the game ends in a 3-2 victory for the Canadiens.
Notes
- The special teams was the big difference in this game as the Canadiens go 2/3 on their PP while the Coyotes were not able to get better then 1/4 on their chances.

Tonight the Coyotes head to Washington to take on the Capitals (25-32-7) who are in the same boat as the Coyotes when it comes to the bottom feeding teams in the league.
The first period sees the Coyotes get off to a quick start as they are able to get a goal by Antoine Vermette less then 4 minutes into the game. Around the 10 minute mark of the first the Coyotes add another one on in the form of a PP goal by defensemen Oliver Ekman Larsson. Just before the end of the first the Capitals are able to get a goal of their own as Troy Brouwer nets one at 18:32. The Coyotes take the lead into the intermission sharing the shot totals with the Capitals at 17 shots a piece!
The second period sees Troy Brouwer get his second of the night around the 15 minutes mark to tie up the game. The Coyotes won't have any of that and get the go ahead goal at the 17 minute mark by a Kyle Chipchura goal.
The third period sees Troy Brouwer complete his hat trick on a PP goal while Paul Bissonnette was in the box. The Coyotes are not able to respond and this game heads to OT.
OT solves nothing and the teams head to the shootout where first shooter for the Coyotes Shane Doan gets it past Holtby to take the 1-0 lead. The Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin is stopped by Thomas Greiss to keep it at 1-0. The Capitals stop the next one by Mike Ribeiro and get one past Greiss with the Jason Chimera shot. Antoine Vermette is not able to get one past the tender but the Capitals Martin Erat is and the Capitals take a 2-1 lead over the Coyotes. It is up to Keith Yandle to score to keep the shootout going but he is stopped by Holtby and the Capitals leave the game with two more points!

Tonight the Coyotes head to Tampa Bay to take on the Lightning (31-27-6) with Thomas Greiss in net as Mark Visentin will take tomorrows back-to-back against Florida.
The first period sees the Coyotes offence struggle and the Lightning get out to a 1-0 lead midway though the first. The Coyotes are not able to do much against the tight Tampa defence and they head to the break down 1-0.
The second period sees the Coyotes only get 3 shots on net but it doesn't matter as one of them goes in from the stick of Paul Bissonnette! The Coyote defence also steps up and they limit Tampa to only 6 shots that Thomas Greiss handles easily.
The third period sees the offence comes to life as the Lightning get it started with a Teddy Purcell PP goal around the 4 minute mark. The Coyotes won't go down without a fight and show it as they net a SH goal by Antoine Vermette only 3 minutes later. Both teams fight hard and it sees Marin Hanzal get the go ahead goal in with only 2:30 minutes remaining. But Tampa won't go away easily as they get a goal by sniper Steven Stamkos with less then a minute remaining to take the game to OT.
OT again solves nothing for the Coyotes and in the Shootout they best the Lightning to take the 2 points.

Tonights back-to-back sees the Coyotes head to take on the Florida Panthers (32-28-4). The Coyotes send out Mark Visentin to take net as he looks to improve his rookie year to 2-1-0.
The first period sees the Coyotes fatigue show as they allow 11 shots and Visentin allows 3 goals. The Coyotes are not able to get any real offence started and go to the break down 3-0.
The second period sees the Panthers take it out on the rookie net minder getting another 12 shots and getting another 3 past him! The Coyotes are gassed and cannot do much in the way of defence or offence and still have no goals to boast about.
The third sees some life from the Coyotes as they get 3 goals past Tim Thomas but the Panthers add 2 more and take the commanding 8-3 win against the Coyotes at home.
