(SportsNetwork.com) - The bad news for the Arizona Coyotes is that they have only one victory over their past five games. The good news is that on Thursday night they get to play the lone team they have beaten over that span as the Coyotes visit the Panthers and BB&T Center. The Coyotes have gone 1-3-1 in their past five, following up a 2-1 overtime victory against the Panthers on Saturday with a 7-3 setback to the hosting Tampa Bay Lightning on Tuesday. The Bolts were paced by Nikita Kucherovs first career hat trick. Shane Doan, Martin Erat and B.J. Crombeen scored for the Coyotes, with Doan getting his first goal of the season. Mike Smith, who spent parts of four seasons with Tampa Bay from 2007-11, turned aside 27-of-33 shots before being pulled in the third period. Devan Dubnyk made one save in relief. (We made) a lot of poor decisions with the puck and (didnt execute) at the level we need to execute. Simple as that, said Coyotes coach Dave Tippett. Arizona lost the opener of a four-game road trip and is 0-2-1 as the visiting team this season. It has been outscored 13-7 on the road. The Coyotes hope to rebound against the Panthers, who have been idle since a 2-1 overtime setback in Arizona on Saturday. Oliver Ekman-Larsson scored the winner 2:20 into extra time on the power play as Floridas Aleksander Barkov was whistled for a high-sticking penalty. Ekman-Larsson took a pass from Sam Gagner and beat Roberto Luongo from the left circle. Justin Hodgman tied the game midway through the third period and Smith made 23 saves. Brandon Pirri scored the lone goal for the Panthers, who went 2-0-2 on a four- game road trip. Luongo stopped 39-of-41 shots. We have to be smarter. We cant take however many penalties we took today. Well kill some, but especially in overtime it is tough to kill, Luongo said. The Panthers are now set to play two in a row at home and are hoping to have Dave Bolland back from a lower-body injury that has sidelined him for three games. The Coyotes have won four in a row and seven of their last nine versus the Panthers, taking three straight and five of six in Florida. Jordan Black Friday From China .

The top-ranked Spaniard won his fourth Madrid Open on Sunday after Kei Nishikori was forced to withdraw with a hip injury when trailing 2-6, 6-4, 3-0 in the final. And Nadal, who is coming off to uncharacteristic quarterfinal losses on clay, said his mental strength is still lacking just two weeks ahead of the French Open.Bruce Boudreau has earned a reputation as a gambler and the Anaheim head coachs latest roll of the dice paid off in a big way. Boudreau made a surprising decision to start highly-touted goaltending prospect John Gibson in Game 4 at Los Angeles on Saturday and the 20-year-old responded by posting a 28-save shutout to help the Ducks even this Western Conference semifinals series at 2-2. Gibson and the Ducks will aim for a repeat performance when they try to take their first lead of this best-of-seven set in Mondays Game 5 against the visiting Kings. The Ducks recalled Gibson after Frederik Andersen, another rookie goaltender, was hurt late in Game 3 and had to be replaced by veteran backstop Jonas Hiller. With Andersen sidelined on Saturday, Hiller was expected to get the Game 4 start due to his playoff experience, but Boudreau instead went with Gibson, who earned rave reviews in his NHL postseason debut. "As soon as we called him up, I thought about starting him," said Boudreau. "I thought he would give us the best chance to win." Gibson had gone 3-0-0 with a 1.33 goals-against average and one whitewash in three appearances at the tail end of the regular season for the Pacific Division champions. On Saturday, he became the first rookie to post a shutout in a playoff debut since Andrew Raycroft of the Boston Bruins against the Montreal Canadiens (3-0) on April 7, 2004. "When I found out I was going to play, I was excited," Gibson said. "I knew the team had to get a win tonight." The victory knotted the series at two games apiece and continue the trend of road teams winning in this series. Los Angeles claimed Games 1 and 2 in Anaheim before the Ducks clawed their way back into the series with two straight victories at the Staples Center. Gibson will be in net again on Monday with Hiller serving as the backup. Devante Smith-Pelly and Ryan Getzlaf provided early offense for the Ducks on Saturday, as both players tallied late in the opening peeriod.dddddddddddd Anaheim improved to 23-2 all-time in the postseason when Getzlaf scores a goal. Anaheim had 11 shots in the first period, but only registered three shots on net over the final 40 minutes. The Ducks went without a shot in the middle stanza, marking the first time an NHL club was held without a shot in a playoff period since it happened to Dallas against Edmonton on May 9, 1998 in Game 2 of the WCSF. While Gibson was able to record a shutout, Kings star goaltender Jonathan Quick was pulled after the first period. Quick stopped 9-of-11 shots and Martin Jones turned aside the three shots he faced over the final two periods. Kings head coach Darryl Sutter said the decision to pull his No. 1 goaltender was a tactical one and Quick should be in net when Game 5 gets underway. "It wasnt a tough thought process. They scored two goals. I dont think our goaltending is an issue. We have to finish off our shots to be successful," offered Sutter. The Kings hadnt been blanked in a home playoff contest since May 20, 2012, a 2-0 defeat to the Phoenix Coyotes in Game 4 of the Western Conference finals. L.A. forward Anze Kopitar had his point streak halted at 10 games, as he failed to pick up a point for the first time in this postseason. He was the first King to have points in 10 straight games in one postseason since Wayne Gretzky posted a franchise-record 12-game point streak in 1993. Kopitar has four goals and 11 assists to lead all players with 15 points in this postseason. The winner of Game 5 will have a chance to close the series out Wednesday in Los Angeles. The Kings, the 2012 Stanley Cup champions, are attempting to make the conference final round for a third straight spring. Anaheim is trying to advance to the third round for the first time since claiming the franchises lone Cup title in 2007. This best-of-seven set, which had been dubbed the "Freeway Series," marks the first-ever playoff matchup between these Southern California rivals. ' ' '
