GLENDALE, Ariz. -- We're not in February any more, Toto. The Coyotes are suddenly mortal.

Mike Smith has lead the Coyotes to 11-0-1 for the month of February and first place in the pacific division. But what do we really know about #41 for the Coyotes? At 29, Smith signed as a free agent with the Coyotes in the summer of 2011. It was expected he would be started by most fans while LaBarbera did what he’s best at... backup. Smith came from a deep playoff run with the...

In a game that ended eerily similar to the last game against Vancouver, the Phoenix Coyotes won 2-1 in a shootout. The Canucks came out strong in the first period and with some helpful deflections opened the scoring on the PP on an Alex Edler shot. Through the second period there was a more even game that saw a few chances at both ends, this included some spectacular saves by Mike...

The Phoenix Coyotes' late-season surge may come as little surprise given their runs the past two years, though their current stretch has been just as impressive.
Recent meetings with the Calgary Flames have gone their way as well.
Streaking Phoenix looks to earn its seventh consecutive win both overall and against fading Calgary on Thursday night at Jobing.com Arena.
