"This one stings the Stars.

_ Phoenix played on Monday in Glendale, beat Detroit, flew Monday night and then came into AAC and simply outworked Dallas. This gives the Coyotes three wins (San Jose, Detroit, Dallas) in four nights and pushes them ahead of the Stars in the standings. Phoenix is now 25-21-8 (58 points), while Dallas is 27-22-2 (56 points). Dallas can make up that difference with its two games in hand, but it also could have made a big statement and pushed the Coyotes down the ladder."
