Tomorrow nights game will be my first from the Press Box at Jobing.com arena. I will be blogging live during the game, attending Coach Tippets’ press conference after the game and conducting locker room interviews after the game.
Halloween night the Anaheim Ducks come in to Jobing.com arena to face the Phoenix Coyotes. This will be the first game between the two this regular season. The Ducks won both Pre-Season games this year. The Ducks are playing Vancouver tonight hoping to end a 4 game losing streak. The Coyotes are returning to Jobing.com from a 3 game road trip wining the last two games.
Ilya Bryzgalov was named first star on NHL.com today after turning in his league leading 3rd shutout of the season.
