NHL: Phoenix 2, Tampa Bay 1

The Coyotes' 43rd victory of the year set a new franchise record for wins in a season, beating the mark the team set in 1984-85 when they were still the Winnipeg Jets.

Bryzgalov earned his NHL-best eighth shutout of the season. In his last five starts -- all of which have been wins -- the Russian netminder has allowed only six goals.

Vernon Fiddler and Mike Lombardi got goals for Phoenix, while Lee Stempniak notched an assist to extend his points streak to seven games.
Tampa Bay's lone goal was scored by Todd Fedoruk while Antero Niittymaki made 26 saves. The Bolts lost for the ninth time in 11 games, falling six points out of the playoff hunt.
