Coyotes Will Be In Good Position After Break
Posted by TheHockeyGuy on February 16th, 2010
Nineteen games separate the Coyotes from their first playoff berth in eight years. They have had a few chances in the interim but always seemed to find a way to lose.
But these are not the same old Coyotes – they keep finding ways to win.
They finished play before the Olympic break in fourth place in the Western Conference with 79 points, equaling last season’s total. The Coyotes are 11 points ahead of No. 9 Dallas and No. 10 Detroit,both with 21 games left.
It took 91 points to make the West playoffs a year ago, but that number likely will not be enough this time. The Coyotes do not need perfection: They can go 8-8-3 and finish with 98 points; the Stars and Red Wings could storm to the finish line with 15-6 records and only match that number.
Teams can resume trading after the break, and with Scottie Upshall (knee) out for the season, the Coyotes could be active.
