(My Sportsbook) - The Phoenix Coyotes continue their push for a playoff spot tonight, as they play host to the Calgary Flames at Jobing.com Arena.

Phoenix has won two of its last three games, and while it is 16 points behind first-place Dallas in the Pacific Division, the Coyotes are only a point out of the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference.

The Coyotes picked up a close win on Thursday by downing the Blues, 2-1. Ilya Bryzgalov stopped 41-of-42 shots, while Ed Jovanovski and Niko Kapanen each scored first-period power-play goals for the Coyotes.

Bryzgalov has been outstanding over his last three games, halting 100-of-102 shots faced while posting a 2-1-0 mark with a 0.68 goals-against average and one shutout.

Radim Vrbata, Keith Yandle and Derek Morris each had an assist in the win. Rookie Peter Mueller also had a helper, but hasn't scored since posting his second career hat trick in a game against the Flames on February 5 -- a span of 11 contests.

Starting tonight, the Coyotes will play six of their next seven games at home. Phoenix, which is 14-14-3 as the host this year, will play in Dallas on Wednesday before returning home for a five-game residency.

The Flames fell out of first place last night, courtesy of a 3-1 setback in Anaheim. Calgary remained stuck on 75 points, while Minnesota's win in Florida gave them a two-point edge over the Flames for the top spot in the Northwest standings.

Dion Phaneuf scored the lone goal for the Flames, who have dropped their last two games. Jarome Iginla and Daymond Langkow posted the assists, as Iginla leads the club with 38 goals, 38 assists and 76 points this season.

Iginla is third in the NHL in goals scored and fourth in points, though he has failed to score in each of his last four games. Meanwhile, Phaneuf's 14 goals on the season are the third highest among NHL defenseman.

Miikka Kiprusoff played the first period against Anaheim and gave up two goals on 11 shots faced. Curtis Joseph played the final two stanzas, making 13 saves.

The Flames play the second of back-to-back road games tonight, and are 17-13-1 as the visiting team this season. The club plays its next three at home, starting with a test versus Columbus on Tuesday.

Calgary has taken two of three against Phoenix this year, and the clubs will meet for the final time this season tonight. The Flames have won seven of nine and 13 of their last 17 against the Coyotes, and have also claimed victory in six of their last eight trips to Phoenix.
