Final
Coyotes look to stay perfect against Kings
Feb 18, 2008 - 2:20 PM Phoenix (30-25-4) at Los Angeles (25-33-3) 10:30 pm ESTLOS ANGELES (Ticker) -- The Phoenix Coyotes have played the Los Angeles Kings five times to date this season. In each game, the Coyotes have come away with a victory.
Phoenix will look for its sixth consecutive victory this season over its Pacific Division rival when the clubs meet on Monday in the second part of a home-and-home series.
The teams will meet a total of eight times this campaign, also squaring off on March 20 and 27. The perfect record against the Kings, owners of the league's worst record, has enabled Phoenix to make a run at a Western Conference playoff berth.
The Coyotes currently occupy the 10th spot in the conference standings, just two points behind the eighth-place Calgary Flames.
Phoenix, which has won three straight after dropping four in a row, posted a 4-3 home victory over Los Angeles on Saturday.
"We seem to have a little more structure in the offensive zone right now," said Coyotes coach Wayne Gretzky, who will seek his 100th coaching victory on Monday.
Phoenix has scored four goals in each of the last four meetings. The Coyotes are 6-for-16 on the power play in the season series, while the Kings have gone 3-for-22.
