And they don't even finish games tied in regulation time. The Coyotes are coming into the game against Anaheim with a six-match losing streak in regulation time. Their last nine games saw 8 losses like that.
Arizona came close to upsetting the New York Rangers in their last game, but after leading 2-1 midway through the third period, Andre Tourigny's squad conceded twice before the final siren. 2-3, as Arizona strengthened their hold on last place in the Western Conference.
