|
| |  | 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. | | EDMONTON: LAST SEASON: 29-44-7, 67 points, finished 14th in the Western Conference and missed the playoffs.
COACH: Dallas Eakins, second season with the Oilers, 29-44-7.
ADDED: D Mark Fayne, D Nikita Nikitin, F Benoit Pouliot, F Teddy Purcell.
LOST: D Anton Belov, C Sam Gagner, LW Ryan Smyth.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Justin Schultz: The Oilers signed the defenseman to a one-year, $3,675,000 deal on Aug. 29. Why one year? ''Justin is going to be a great player and a great Oiler. What we wanted to do as an organization is buy ourselves a little bit of time to negotiate a long-term deal,'' general manager Craig MacTavish said. ''We as an organization wanted a little more information, fully aware information can be expensive.''
OUTLOOK: Six straight years of drafting in the top 10 and stockpiling high-end young talent without showing tangible on-ice improvement tends to create skepticism. |

*Coyotes-Oilers Preview* ========================
By KEVIN CHROUST STATS Writer
Arizona (11-18-4) at Edmonton (7-20-7), 8:00 p.m. EDT
The Arizona Coyotes have been very true to their current position in the standings over the last month.
Dating to Nov. 23, they've won twice and seen 12 of their 13 Western Conference opponents distance themselves. The only stragglers are the Edmonton Oilers, who have provided the Coyotes with both of those wins and could again lend a hand Tuesday night at Rexall Place.
It's part of a much longer run of success in the series for the Coyotes (11-18-4), who haven't lost to the Oilers (7-20-7) in regulation since Jan. 25, 2011. The 14-0-3 stretch includes four wins this season, and Arizona can now complete the sweep.
That's all Dave Tippett's team has going for it at the moment during a 2-8-2 run. Arizona has scored 13 goals in the last eight games.
"We just have to find a way to score," defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson said. "But, I mean, that's not going to cut it."
It's considerably better than the Oilers, who are 1-12-6 dating to Nov. 11.
Edmonton - 1-16-6 against the West - at least got some offense going in Sunday's 6-5 shootout loss to Dallas. Taylor Hall had two goals and an assist, Mark Arcobello scored twice and Teddy Purcell had a goal and two assists.
It's all part of a concerted effort to get to the net and cause more traffic in front of opposing goaltenders, and it's resulted in eight goals in two games after Edmonton scored just six over the first five games of the skid.
"For whatever reason we weren't doing it consistently enough and we weren't getting the results," Purcell told the team's official website. "The last couple of games we have been scoring more and it's not a coincidence that we're going to the net."
Hall had gone his previous 11 games without a goal, a career-worst drought, but he has 11 points in his last eight games against the Coyotes.
The club's main focus could now shift to fixing a leaky back end that allowed for a 5-2 lead to slip away. The Oilers have allowed nine goals in two games and 24 in seven.
"We have to develop mental toughness as a group," interim coach Todd Nelson said. "We've got to work on things in practice with our structure, but it comes down to compete and just refusing to let bad habits creep in."
The Coyotes needed two hands to count their bad habits in Monday's 7-1 loss in Vancouver.
Mike Smith allowed four of the goals on 11 shots, falling to 0-4-0 with a 5.05 goals-against average over his last five games. Smith is 10-1-1 with a 2.65 GAA in 14 career games against Edmonton.
Devan Dubnyk allowed the final three against the Canucks on 29 shots. The former Edmonton goaltender is 1-3-1 with a 3.29 GAA over his last seven games, but he's 2-0-0 with a 0.96 GAA and .970 save percentage against the Oilers this season.
Edmonton's Viktor Fasth could get a shot at ending an 0-6-1 stretch. He's 0-2-1 with a 4.26 GAA against the Coyotes.
Ben Scrivens allowed five goals against Dallas and has a 2.95 GAA over an 0-3-2 stretch. He's 0-2-1 with a 3.31 GAA in the season series.
Arizona's Mikkel Boedker has five goals and two assists in the four previous meetings this season and 13 points over the last eight matchups.
Sam Gagner, who moved to the slightly more favorable side of the Pacific Division rivalry prior to the start of the season, has been limited to an assist in four games against his former team.
