Phoenix Coyotes Beat Los Angeles Kings 4-1

It was a nice change from what we have seen lately.

The Coyotes must have the Kings' number as they have beaten them for three straight games. Even though there are five more games to play against each other, right now, the Coyotes have dominated the Kings and they are 8-5 against their division rivals. It's too bad that they keep getting picked to lose against the Kings and against southern California teams, because the Coyotes will not cooperate. It's funny how that happens.

However, it's still early, but it's a good start.

Radim Vrbata has been out of the lineup for the past two games and his scoring touch was missed. Now that he's back in, Vrbata makes a statement with his tenth goal of the season. He leads the Coyotes in goals scored.

Peter Mueller had a monster game with three points, one goal and two assists, and continues to grow as a hockey player. He was the second star of the night for the Coyotes. Mueller is second among rookies in goals scored and tied with Niklas Backstrom for points scored.

Keith Ballard was strong on the blueline all night and made some top flight hits, especially against Dustin Brown.

Ilya Bryzgalov bounced back tonight as well only allowing one goal on 28 shots. This season, he has been between the pipes for each Coyotes' victory against the Kings and has stopped 82 of 84 shots.

Good to see the Yotes bounce back....they really are a better team than their record indicates. When they work hard...they win. Last night was no exception. The youngsters, especially Mueller, continue to impress greatly.
