In a three-way battle for first place in the Central Division, the Dallas Stars begin a key four-game Western road trip Sunday night against the Arizona Coyotes in Tempe, Ariz. Dallas (43-19-9, 95 points) enters Sunday tied for first with Colorado (45-20-5, 95 points) and two points ahead of Winnipeg (44-21-5, 93 points). Both the Avalanche and Jets have a game in hand, however, and a big advantage in the regulation-wins tiebreaker. Three of the

Jordan Eberle aims to help Kraken end skid in clash vs. Coyotes

The Seattle Kraken easily could’ve dealt Jordan Eberle earlier this month at the NHL trade deadline. Plenty of teams likely would’ve been interested in acquiring a forward with his experience. Instead, the Kraken passed on all offers and gave Eberle a two-year contract extension. With Seattle’s playoff hopes dwindling heading into Friday night’s game against the Arizona Coyotes in Tempe, Ariz., it’s fair to wonder if the Kraken would’ve been better off dealing Eberle for

Wyatt Johnston powering Stars ahead of Coyotes tilt

Budding star Wyatt Johnston is a big reason the Dallas Stars are in the mix to win the Central Division. Looking to extend his goal streak to five games, Johnston will try to help the Stars keep the visiting Arizona Coyotes from a third consecutive victory Wednesday night. Dallas (41-19-9, 91 points) trails Winnipeg and Colorado by two points in the Central. The Stars avoided a third straight defeat Saturday with a 4-1 home victory

Devils look to keep momentum going against Coyotes

The New Jersey Devils aim to record consecutive wins for the first time in more than a month when they visit the Arizona Coyotes on Saturday in Tempe, Ariz. The Devils posted two-goal victories over the Seattle Kraken and Nashville Predators on Feb. 12-13 before losing nine of their next 13 games. New Jersey showed signs of breaking out of its malaise, however, by scoring three goals in the first 5:12 of the second period

Slumping Red Wings look to reverse course against Coyotes

Woeful starts have led to unpleasant endings for the Detroit Red Wings during their six-game losing streak. With its confidence shaken, Detroit returns home to face Arizona on Thursday night. During the slide, the Red Wings have been outscored 13-4 in the first period. They gave up four first-period goals while getting thumped 7-3 at Buffalo on Tuesday night.

Streaky Blackhawks, Coyotes meet again

The Chicago Blackhawks beat the Arizona Coyotes last week to snap the longest road losing streak in franchise history at 22 games. Looking for a little payback, the Coyotes will eye a season-high third straight road victory when they rematch with the Blackhawks on Sunday evening in Chicago. On Tuesday, Chicago posted a 5-2 victory at Arizona to halt its historically brutal 0-21-1 road rut, with the team’s most recent win away from home a

Red Wings pursue bounce-back effort at Arizona

The Detroit Red Wings were riding high just a week ago. Following a three-game losing streak, the Red Wings are now feeling a sense of urgency. They will look for a turnaround against the Arizona Coyotes on Friday night in Tempe, Ariz. The first of Detroit’s recent defeats, a 5-3 setback to the New York Islanders, ended a six-game winning streak. The Red Wings’ offense was then silenced by league-leading Florida 4-0 on Saturday. Team

Badly needing wins, Wild visit struggling Coyotes

Led by the red-hot Kirill Kaprizov, the Minnesota Wild will continue to battle toward a playoff spot when they visit the Arizona Coyotes on Thursday in Tempe, Ariz. The Wild broke a three-game skid (0-3-0) by beating the visiting San Jose Sharks 4-3 on Sunday, though it was hardly a flawless performance. Minnesota had to come back from two deficits after turnovers led to all three of San Jose goals, but Kaprizov was the difference-maker.

Coyotes look to maintain momentum vs. lowly Blackhawks

The Arizona Coyotes return home from a five-game road trip to face the Chicago Blackhawks in Tempe, Ariz., on Tuesday night with a much bigger smile on their faces than when they departed. The Coyotes took five of a possible 10 points on the trip including back-to-back wins at Ottawa (5-3) and Washington (5-2) to end the trek. The win over the Senators snapped Arizona’s 14-game losing streak (0-12-2). The Coyotes had been in contention
