Record vs. Coyotes: 0-0-1.

Update: Defenseman James Wisniewski is eligible to return from a two-game NHL suspension for an Oct. 31 hit against Coyotes’ captain Shane Doan, and Coach Randy Carlyle says he will play in the rematch against the Phoenix. An improving defense and a penalty-killing unit that is 11 for 11 the last two games helped Jonas Hiller record the Ducks’ first shutout Thursday against Nashville.
