The Chicago Blackhawks managed to stay in the playoff picture as they snapped a three-game skid with a 2-1 OT win over the Colorado Avalanche on Sunday. They're still five points back with seven games to go and would not only have to leapfrog the Avs, but also Minnesota and Arizona who trails Colorado by just two points.

The Arizona Coyotes are coming off an 0-3-1 road trip and took a 2-0 loss Sunday against the host New York Islanders, despite out-shooting their opponent 31-26. "I thought we played our hearts out in this game," Coyotes defenseman Jason Demers told NHL.com. "We battled. Obviously back-to-back (games) on the road is always tough, but I thought we weathered the storm in the first, and I thought in the second and the third we kind of took over the game. Their goalie made some big saves ... but our guys didn't quit until the end. That's what we've got to take from that game. We've just got to dust ourselves off and get back at it."

The Yotes must feel good about returning back home to Gila River Arena as they're 8-2 in their last 10 home games vs. a team with a losing road record and will host a Blackhawks side that is 16-18-3 away from home on the season.

10* play on Arizona Coyotes.
