GLENDALE, Ariz. -- The Vancouver Canucks and Arizona Coyotes have different goals as they head into the All-Star break after Thursday's meeting at Gila River Arena.
The Canucks (23-20-6) own a one-point lead for the final Western Conference wild-card spot after a 3-2 win in Colorado on Wednesday. The Coyotes (15-26-6) own the second-lowest point total in the NHL, yet they are aiming for their first three-game winning streak of the season.
"It's real good motivation," Coyotes coach Dave Tippett said. "We need this team to continue to push forward. We need to continue to grow.
