Woof!
Facing the Jets the Yotes decided to play a 96 CD Toskala. Vesa was poised for a shutout last game vs Detroit but was forced to leave with an eye injury (Danis came in and finished the SO). The Coyote keeper responded tonight by shutting out the Jets.
Martin Rucinsky led the way with 3 assists while Handzus had a goal and an assist.
The line of Handzus-Rucinsky-Prospal has been on fire. Dubbed the Herpe line (HRP) the trio have been leading the Coyotes up the standings. Since being shutout by the Blues on Day26 the 3 Coyotes Stars have preformed as follows:
10 goals, 23 assists, +16
Handzus - 5 Games - 1G, 7A, +5
Rucinsky - 5 Games - 6G, 7A, +6
Prospal - 5 Games - 3G, 9A, +5
Not bad for a #2 line. Now if the Sundin-Ponikarovsky-Langenbrunner line can start producing as it should we will be unbelievable!
The Coyotes now have 5 days off before going to Minnesota to face the Wild. GM Drunk has said to expect some fun off-ice activities during this mini-break.
