The Arizona Coyotes are on the brink of elimination from playoff contention following Monday night's 3-2 loss to the Los Angeles Kings at Gila River Arena.
The Coyotes can't catch the St. Louis Blues without a win and Blues loss on Wednesday in the home finale at Gila River Arena. Any point gained by St. Louis leaves the Coyotes with no shot.
Christian Dvorak and Jakob Chychrun scored goals for the Coyotes, who led twice by a goal. But Arizona (22-25-6) lost ground to the St. Louis Blues and trail them 55 to 50 points in the standings, with the Coyotes down to three games left to play.
