Phoenix (19-15-5) at Anaheim (19-15-5), 8:00 pm EST
ANAHEIM, California (Ticker) -- The Phoenix Coyotes will seek
their third consecutive victory Sunday when they visit the
struggling Anaheim Ducks.
Zbynek Michalek scored a goal and setup another as the Coyotes
edged the New York Islanders, 5-4, on Friday. Viktor Tikhonov,
captain Shane Doan, Olli Jokinen and Joakim Lindstrom also
tallied Friday for Phoenix, which is 7-2-3 over its last 12
games.
The Coyotes, however, have not scored a power-play goal in their
previous three contests, going 0-for-14 with the man advantage
over that stretch.
The Ducks have lost five of their last six games. Corey Perry
had a goal and an assist Friday, but Anaheim fell to the
Philadelphia Flyers, 5-4, in a shootout.
Perry, Bobby Ryan and Ryan Getzlaf were all denied in the bonus
format for the Ducks, who are not enjoying their eight-game
stretch in Southern California. Anaheim was also blanked by
Columbus, 2-0, at home Wednesday.
The Ducks will still play five of their next six games at "The
Pond" and the lone road contest will be against the Los Angeles
Kings.
