GLENDALE --The Coyotes will try to extend their winning streak to four games on Thursday when they host the Detroit Red Wings. The puck drops at 7 p.m. Arizona time at Gila River Arena.
Arizona (26-35-8) has won three straight games, all by one-goal margins, including an 11-round shootout triumph at Los Angeles on Tuesday.
Mike Smith, who posted a 22-save shutout vs. Colorado in his last outing on Monday, is expected to start in goal. Smith has 126 wins with the Coyotes and needs two more to tie Bob Essensa for second place in franchise history. Ilya Bryzgalov holds the record with 130 victories.
