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 hope to catch the St. Louis Blues without a win and Blues loss for starters on Wednesday in the home finale at Gila River Arena. Any standings point gained by St. Louis leaves the Coyotes with no shot, with the Blues controlling the top playoff tiebreaker of more regulation and overtime wins.
Christian Dvorak and Jakob Chychrun scored goals for the Coyotes, who led twice by a goal.
