 GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) - Ilya Bryzgalov had 24 saves for his fifth career shutout and Phoenix defeated the Vancouver Canucks 2-0 on Thursday night, reviving the Coyotes' flickering playoff hopes.
Niko Kapanen and Daniel Winnik each scored and Martin Hanzal had two assists for Phoenix, which pulled within three points of the eighth-place Canucks in the Western Conference race. The teams meet again March 17 in Vancouver.
Bryzgalov recorded his third shutout of the season and second since Phoenix claimed him off waivers from Anaheim in November. He also stopped 35 shots in a 3-2 shootout victory over Anaheim on Tuesday.
