|
| | | 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. | | TORONTO: LAST SEASON: 38-6-8, 84 points, finished 12th in the East and missed the playoffs.
COACH: Randy Carlyle, fifth season with the Leafs, 343-244-77.
ADDED: RW Matt Frattin, C Leo Komarov, D Roman Polak, D Stephane Robidas, C Mike Santorelli.
LOST: C Dave Bolland, D Tim Gleason, D Carl Gunnerson, C Jay McClement, RW Nikolai Kulemin, LW Mason Raymond.
PLAYER TO WATCH: David Clarkson. The right winger's first season with his boyhood team was one he'd rather forget. Clarkson had with 11 points (five goals and six assists) in 60 games with a minus-14 rating after agreeing to a seven-year, $36.75 million deal with Toronto.
OUTLOOK: The hirings of Brendan Shanahan as team president, Kyle Dubas as the assistant general manager and the added emphasis of analytics seem to indicate a new day for the Leafs. But much of the team that lost 12 of their final 14 games last season has returned. Coupled with the fact that the Leafs are in a division with 2013-14 playoff teams in Boston, Tampa Bay, Montreal and Detroit, it's hard to envision a scenario in which Toronto shows enough improvement to contend for a postseason berth in 2014-15. |

*Coyotes-Maple Leafs Preview* =============================
By NOEY KUPCHAN STATS Writer
Arizona (16-25-6) at Toronto (22-23-4), 7:30 p.m. EDT
The Arizona Coyotes are on the verge of their longest losing streak in 20 seasons after picking up where they left off before the break.
They aren't likely to get much sympathy from the offensively challenged Toronto Maple Leafs, who are mired in a lengthy skid of their own.
Arizona tries to continue its success against Toronto as these struggling teams square off at Air Canada Centre on Thursday night.
The Coyotes (16-25-6) were outscored 24-9 in their final six games before All-Star weekend, and they opened the season's second half with Tuesday's 4-3 shootout loss at Philadelphia. Arizona, in the midst of eight consecutive road games, took a 2-0 lead 5:50 into the first period before getting outplayed down the stretch.
"It's always nice when you come on the road a get a two goal lead," forward Martin Erat said after finishing with two points. "You have to know and learn how to play with it."
The Coyotes haven't been handed eight consecutive defeats since a franchise record-tying 10-game skid Feb. 6-25, 1994, when the team was located in Winnipeg.
"There are some things in (Tuesday's) game that you like about your team, some structural stuff, some compete stuff that was definitely much better," coach Dave Tippett said. "Still some turnovers, some poor penalties - our margin for error is slim, we have to take those out of our game. But certainly some things to build on and some things to correct. ... We still have a ways to go."
So does Toronto (22-23-4), which has gone 3-14-1 since Dec. 18 for the NHL's second-worst record over that span. The Maple Leafs have scored one or zero goals six times during a season-worst seven-game losing streak.
They saw their woes carry over in Wednesday's 2-1 shootout loss at New Jersey. James van Riemsdyk scored his team-leading 21st goal midway through the third period, but Jonathan Bernier let in the equalizer with 2:50 to go in regulation.
"It's been a tough stretch for us, there's no hiding that," van Riemsdyk said.
Bernier finished with 22 saves, dropping 1-6-1 with a 2.87 goals-against average in 2015. He's compiled a 1.34 GAA in winning each of his three starts against the Coyotes.
Arizona took this season's first matchup against Toronto 3-2 on Nov. 4 as Mike Smith stopped 28 shots opposite James Reimer. The Coyotes have won seven of nine in the series, including three of four on the road.
Smith is 4-1-2 with a 2.35 GAA against the Leafs, but he owns the league's highest GAA at 3.49. With an NHL-worst 20 losses, Smith is already one away from matching last season's total recorded in 62 games.
Toronto will again have to get by without captain Dion Phaneuf, who's being listed as week to week due to an upper-body injury. The Leafs have gone 5-10-4 without their standout defenseman since he joined the team in January 2010.
Phil Kessel leads the team with 44 points despite notching one in the last seven games.
Toronto is surely looking forward to a quick stop back home after playing 13 of its last 16 in opposing arenas. The Leafs are averaging 3.5 goals on their own ice compared to 2.2 on the road.
Antoine Vermette has a team-leading 31 points for Arizona, only seven of which have come in the last 15 road games. The veteran center is set to appear in his 441st consecutive game and 800th of his career.
