The Coyotes continue their four-game homestand tonight against the Devils after falling 3-2 in overtime to the Senators Thursday.
“I liked the way we played last game,” coach Dave Tippett said. “We made a coupe mistakes that hurt us but you look at the whole scope of the game, we had a lot of chances. We have every line contributing. It was a solid game by us. That being said, you gotta find a way to win.”

Arizona’s power play is 3-for-39 in its last 13 games.
“We created some good chances the other night,” Tippett said. “Now we gotta capitalize on them. But it’s an area where we gotta get better. There’s some execution, some finish. It’s an opportunity in the game where that can be a difference maker for us, and it hasn’t done it enough lately.”
Winger Teemu Pulkkinen appears to be a healthy scratch for a fourth straight game.
“Right now he’s kind of the extra guy, for sure,” Tippett said. “We played well (Thursday) night. To put him in, we’d have to take somebody out. I don’t see that happening.”
