The coyotes first game of the new month sees them take on the Pittsburgh Penguins (28-21-5). This game was more or less a practice for the Coyotes as the penguins come into town and destroy them 8-2! The coyotes definitely are missing the likes of Goaltender Mike Smith and Korpikowski!

As luck would have it the Coyotes get back Mike Smith in time for the game against the Dallas Stars (23-28-4) as rookie backup Mark Visentin, who came up for Smith gets injured in practice. The Coyotes simply send him back down to portland to heal up and continue in the AHL for the remainder of the season.
The Coyotes are looking to take it to the poor defensive team of the Stars and get back on track to getting into the top 8 spot in the Western Conference.
The first period is a decent evenly played game with the Stars and Coyotes getting near even in shots on goals however it is the Stars that get on the board first with a ES goal by Colton Sceviour. The Coyotes go and kill off 2 penalties this period while not getting a single PP chance at all.
The second period sees a breakdown of Mike Smith as he allows 3 goals on just 10 shots. The Coyotes do get one back on the PP by Mike Riberio as Mike Smith heads to the bench and Thomas Greiss comes in to finish up the game.
The third period sees two more Dallas goals and the Coyotes get their second massive kick in the butt game losing to the stars 6-1. The Coyotes did get a good amount of shots on the net but goalie Kari Lehtonen was the better player tonight.

Some surprising news out of Edmonton as the Oilers are able to do what the Coyotes could not and sign Radim Vrbata to a top heavy 6.9 Million/4 year deal that sees Vrbata paid 7.9, 7.5, 6.4, 5.9 Million respectfully. This deal will see Vrbata in a oilers jersey until he is 36 and most likely the end of his career.
More importantly the Coyotes welcome the Chicago Blackhawks (36-18-5) to the Jobing.com arena and look to get a win out of them as they have dropped each of the previous two meetings this year.
The first period is a clean, fast game and sees the Coyotes get out to the 1-0 lead on a blistering 15 shots. The Blackhawks are just as strong on the offensive side being able to get off 10 shots of their own.
The Second period sees the second goal by a Coyote as Nail Yakupov is able to get the PP goal as the Coyotes convert on the only PP opportunity of the game so far. The Coyotes and Blackhawks still are even in shots as they have 25-22 respectfully and the third period will most likely be a duel to the end.
The 3rd period sees the Coyotes defence show up as Mike Smith and the Coyotes get the hard earned win against a huge Western Conference rival in a 2-0 game! The Coyotes also bring themselves within 1 point of the coveted 8th spot in the Western Conference.

The Coyotes head off to Dallas to revisit the Stars (25-28-4) who just recently smacked down the Coyotes in a 6-1 victory. The Coyotes will be starting the game with backup Thomas Greiss in net and hope to get revenge on the Stars for the previous game.
The first period sees the Coyotes take advantage of the PP netting 1 of the two possible opportunities. The Stars are able to tie it back up late in the period and the teams head into the break tied up at 1. Thomas Greiss has played a solid game so far to this point and Coach Wells seems pleased with his game so far.
The Second period sees the stars get down 2-1 early on Shane Doan second goal of the night but respond with 3 straight of their own. the Coyotes are able to get back into the game with a second PP goal of the night and go into the third only down by 1 with a chance to win the game.
The third period sees the Coyotes and Stars both pepper the goalies with shots but both are not able to go ahead and score as the game ends the same way the third started with the Stars getting the 4-3 win and the Coyotes handing them their second loss of the season series.

As the NHL takes a break for the Olympics the Coyotes and many teams use the down time to get a great break for their players! The Coyotes are back at it in Winnipeg to take on the Jets (32-23-5) and look to get even in the season series.
The first period sees the Coyotes get man handled in the Offensive zone and outshot 13-6 while the Jets get the first goal of the Game on the PP.
The second period sees the Coyotes catch up a little in the shots on goals but also spend another 4 minutes killing penalties but Mike Smith stands tall the the Coyotes keep the game at 1-0 and look to go into the third and get the game tied back up!
The third period sees Bryan Little get his second and third goal as the Coyotes go into Winnipeg and lose 3-1. the Coyotes were unable to convert on any of the 6 PP chances that they had in the game!

February 28, 2014
The trade deadline saw a lot of action but no major deals go down an tonight the Coyotes have different things on their minds as they take on the Colorado Avalanche (26-26-7) in the Mile High city!
The Coyotes come out firing away but it is Colorado who leaves the first period with the 1-0 lead.
The second period sees both teams goalies stand in their strong as neither is willing to budge at all!
The third period sees a few more goals go on the board as the Avalanche are able to get goal number 2 and 3 and look to be taking the 3-0 victory home but it is Kyle Chipchura who ruins the day with less then 30 seconds to go as the Coyotes lose to the Avalanche 3-1.
