The Arizona Coyotes will try to end an eight-game losing streak Friday. They are 3-12-3 in their past 18 games. "You have to look to your top players," coach Dave Tippett said. "Your key veteran players have to lead the way. They're the guys that step out and dictate the pace of the game, the thought processes in the game. We've got a lot of younger players that, if they can get out there and get their feet underneath them, hopefully the consistency will come to our game. But you need your veteran players to go out there and do their job and get the game going the right way for you." The Coyotes top line of Tobias Rieder, Martin Hanzal and Anthony Duclair has given the Anaheim Ducks problems in the past. Duclair has six goals in six games against Anaheim and is trying to recapture the same chemistry he had with Rieder when he scored his first NHL hat trick at Honda Center on Oct. 15, 2015. "We want to build off what we did last year and bring that tonight," Duclair said. "We want to make quick passes and simple plays off the neutral zone, get in deep and go to work … They've got some tough defensemen but we want to use our speed -- me and Rieder -- and beat them wide and try to get in deep."
