GLENDALE, Ariz. -- If only every day of the season could be like this for the Arizona Coyotes and the New York Islanders.
The Islanders play at the Coyotes at Gila River Arena on Monday night, and both teams must be wondering if they can play any better than they did in decisive victories on Saturday.
The Coyotes (11-28-9), who have had the NHL's worst record nearly all season, finally found their game in St. Louis, winning 5-2 on a night in which they opened a 4-0 lead. They had lost their previous six games and seven of their previous nine.
