GLENDALE, Ariz. -- The Arizona Coyotes are running out of time.
Not to secure a playoff berth -- hopes of that vanished when the Coyotes lost their first 11 games. And not to get to the .500 mark, either.
It's the race to respectability, and they're losing badly.
The Coyotes have lost three straight games, 13 of 16 and 16 of 20 going into their Tuesday night game against the San Jose Sharks, who beat them 6-5 on Saturday night at SAP Center. It was a typical loss in a washout of a season for the Coyotes, who gave up the lead with 15 seconds remaining in regulation as forward Joonas Donskoi scored, then lost in overtime on defenseman Marc-Edouard Vlasic's goal.
