League: NHL – United States of America

Last 10 matches: Coyotes 5-5-0; Blues 2-5-3
The Coyotes continue to find ways to stay competitive despite issues both on and off the ice. Not only is the team waiting for a new owner, but it’s also fighting the injury bug as three top defensemen are out of action. Nonetheless, the Coyotes are three games above the .500 mark and right in the thick of the playoff race in the Western Conference.Coyotes defenseman Ed Jovanovski (lower body) missed his fifth straight game on Wednesday and is questionable for Thursday. Zbynek Michalek (lower body) and Kurt Sauer (upper body) are also not expected to play. … Blues right wing David Backes (upper body) is questionable, while left wings D.J. King (broken hand) and Alex Steen (wrist) are out.
This is the third of four meetings between the teams. Phoenix has won the first two games, including a 2-0 victory at St. Louis on Oct. 29.
Radim Vrbata had a goal and an assist on Wednesday night and is regaining his scoring touch in Phoenix (6 goals, 5 assists). Ilya Bryzgalov has racked up 11 victories and has been one of the League’s top goaltenders this season. … St. Louis defenseman Erik Johnson, who missed all of last season, is tied for the team lead with 12 points (1 goal, 11 assists). Two of David Perron’s seven goals are game-winners. Goal’s highlights, results and more will be on site, as soon as posible.
