GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Good afternoon from Jobing.com Arena, where the Bruins will face off against the Coyotes tonight.

The Bruins scrubbed their morning skate, so we'll wait until warmups to see if there are any lineup changes. Given the way Tim Thomas performed last night, Tuukka Rask might be on the bench again tonight.

* Ilya Bryzgalov (4-1-0, 1.17 GAA, .952 save percentage) has started five of Phoenix's six games. Expect Bryzgalov to get the start tonight.

* Bruins killer Scottie Upshall (six career goals against Boston) has two strikes this season.

* Tonight will be ex-Coyote Derek Morris's 800th NHL game.

* There is no local TV for tonight's game. NESN will carry the game.

* Dennis LaRue and Gord Dwyer will be the referees. Vaughan Rudy and Bryan Pancich will be the linesmen.
