Scouting the Coyotes

Phoenix has been a difficult opponent this season for the Kings, who are 1-3 in four games against the Coyotes this season and have allowed Phoenix to score a total of 15 goals. All of those games were started by Kings goalie Jonathan Quick, and the Kings will hope for a different look with Jonathan Bernier in goal. The Coyotes, not surprisingly, will go with Ilya Bryzgalov, who is 6-0-1 with a 1.55 goals-against average at Staples Center since the start of the 2007-08 season. To preview the game from the Arizona side, here’s a story from the Arizona Republic, followed by the expected lineups for the Coyotes and Kings and the full roster for the Coyotes…
