| | | ARIZONA: LAST SEASON: 37-30-15, 89 points. Ninth overall in Western Conference.
COACH: Dave Tippett, fifth season with Arizona, 156-96-42; In 10th NHL season as coach, 427-252-107.
ADDED: C Sam Gagner, C Joe Vitale, RW B.J. Crombeen, G Devan Dubnyk.
LOST: RW Radim Vrbata, C Mike Ribeiro, D Derek Morris, LW Paul Bissonnette, G Thomas Greiss.
PLAYER TO WATCH: C Antoine Vermette. As Ribeiro struggled late last season, Vermette surged to the forefront as Arizona's top center. He led the Coyotes with 24 goals last season and is a superb two-way player - a perfect fit for Tippett's defense-first system. A bigger season could be on the horizon as the Coyotes lean on him more.
OUTLOOK: The Coyotes should contend for a playoff spot in the Western Conference. Arizona lost captain Shane Doan for 12 games due to Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever and goalie Mike Smith was out the final 10 games with a knee injury. Even with the injuries, the Coyotes finished two points out of the West's final playoff spot. Stay relatively healthy and get back to their defensive ways, they might be in the mix again this season. | | FLORIDA: LAST SEASON: 29-45-8, 66 points. Missed the playoffs by finishing 15th in the Eastern Conference.
COACH: Gerald Gallant, 1st season with Panthers; 4th overall in NHL, 56-76-4.
ADDED: C Jussi Jokinen, C Dave Bolland, D Willie Mitchell, G Al Montoya, C Derek MacKenzie, LW Shawn Thornton.
LOST: D Tom Gilbert, C Scott Gomez, C Marcel Goc, D Ed Jovanovski, G Tim Thomas, G Scott Clemmensen, G Jacob Markstrom.
PLAYER TO WATCH: G Roberto Luongo. For as much as the Panthers are talking about scoring more goals and improving special teams - and rightly so - Florida's hopes hinge upon one of the most popular players in team history. If Luongo is great, the Panthers could be a playoff team. If he struggles, so will Florida.
OUTLOOK: So much has to change quickly for Florida to get in playoff contention, but the Panthers went out and tried during the offseason to revamp just about everything from locker-room mood to on-ice style. Opening with five road games in the season's first seven outings may set the tone. |

*Coyotes-Panthers Preview* ==========================
By ALAN FERGUSON STATS Writer
Arizona (3-4-1) at Florida (2-2-3), 7:30 p.m. EDT
The Arizona Coyotes' positive vibes from ending a three-game losing streak were short-lived, but they'll get another chance against the team they beat most recently.
The Coyotes look to extend their dominance over the Florida Panthers when they continue a four-game road trip Thursday night.
Arizona (3-4-1) used a pair of power-play goals and Mike Smith's 23 saves to snap an 0-2-1 skid with a 2-1 overtime win against Florida on Saturday. When he returned to the net for the opener of the trip Tuesday, Smith gave up six goals on 33 shots before being pulled in the third period in a 7-3 loss to Tampa Bay.
"It's the whole group, not Mike," coach Dave Tippett said. "There is no excuses here. We didn't play well. Simple as that."
It was the third time this season that the Coyotes have yielded at least six goals. Their 31 goals allowed give them one of the highest totals in the Western Conference.
"It's frustrating," captain Shane Doan said. "I think this is the third game where we've given up way too many goals. As a professional hockey player, you get embarrassed. You have to be embarrassed."
Doan and his teammates will try to bounce back against the Panthers (2-2-3), whom they've gone 6-0-1 against in the last seven matchups with a series-best four consecutive wins. The Coyotes have also won three consecutive road games over the Panthers.
Smith is expected to get another start and is 4-0-0 with a 1.06 goals-against average in his last four meetings with Florida, allowing one goal in each. He made 31 saves in Arizona's latest visit, a 3-1 victory March 11.
Oliver Ekman-Larsson, who had the winning goal Saturday, scored in the second period of that game. He has two goals and two assists in four career matchups, and Keith Yandle, Arizona's leader with eight points, has seven assists in seven lifetime meetings.
The Panthers haven't played since Saturday's loss, which wrapped up a 2-0-2 road trip. They've lost their two home games and are trying to avoid their worst start there since beginning 0-3-1 in 2001-02.
"There were a lot of positives obviously. We got six out of eight points, which is really good," coach Gerard Gallant said. "It was a good trip. The guys feel really good about themselves. Now, we've got to make sure we take care of business at home."
Florida has given up a league-low five even-strength goals but has one of the worst penalty kill percentages at 73.0. The Panthers have allowed four goals in the 13 times they've been short-handed in the last two games.
Arizona's opponents are 1 for 13 on the power play in the last four games, and the team has one of the league's best conversion rates with a man advantage at 26.7 percent (8 for 30).
Florida has scored two goals or fewer in six of its seven games with the lone exception being a 4-3 overtime win in Colorado on Oct. 21.
Brandon Pirri has scored a goal in each of the last two contests, and he has three goals in five career matchups with Arizona, his most against any opponent.
