Coyotes face Canucks needing a win for playoff push

Mar 17, 2008 - 1:35 PM VANCOUVER, British Columbia (Ticker) - The Phoenix Coyotes need a late surge to reach the postseason and can gain ground on the Vancouver Canucks on Monday.

The Coyotes are currently in the 10th place in the Western Conference, five points behind the eighth-place Canucks. Phoenix, trying to reach the playoffs for the first time since 2002, has lost three of its last five games.

The Coyotes closed out a five-game homestand on Saturday with a 5-2 loss to Edmonton, prompting a 15-minute, players-only meeting.

"We've got 10 games to go and we're not out of it yet," Phoenix forward Shane Doan said.

Phoenix is 3-0-1 in its last four games against the Canucks, including a 2-0 victory on Thursday. Vancouver ended a two-game slide on Saturday with a 4-3 win over Dallas to close out a four-game road trip.

Canucks' left wing Taylor Pyatt has a pair of goals against Phoenix this season. Coyotes' center Niko Kapanen has two goals against the Canucks and goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov has a pair of wins and a 1.30 goals-against average vs. Vancouver this season.
