Anaheim (39-27-5) at Phoenix (34-30-5), 7:30 pm, FSNPT

GLENDALE, Arizona (Ticker) - A meeting with the Anaheim Ducks is exactly what the Phoenix Coyotes need to get back on track. The Coyotes try to snap a two-game losing streak on Tuesday when they host the Ducks. Phoenix has lost three of its last four games, including a 4-2 setback to the Ottawa Senators on Saturday.

Despite their recent woes, the Coyotes are 4-1-0 against the Ducks this season and have won three straight meetings with the reigning Stanley Cup champions. Anaheim tied a franchise record Sunday by picking up its seventh straight win at home, a 3-1 triumph over the Montreal Canadiens. Chris Kunitz, Todd Marchant and Samuel Pahlsson each notched a tally for the Ducks, who finally found the back of the net after a pair of shutouts.
