Storyline:
The Hawks have lost five of their last seven games and will try to rebound after twice blowing two-goal leads in a 5-4 loss to the Coyotes on Saturday night. The Coyotes are seeking their 10th consecutive victory. In its 30-year history, the Winnipeg/Phoenix franchise has never swept the season series with the Hawks. Bryzgalov has won his last seven starts with a 1.66 goals-against average during that span.
