Usually when two division rivals meet up there’s a good chance for some fireworks. Over the course of their six-game series during the regular season last year, it’s fair to say the LA Kings and Phoenix Coyotes didn’t disappoint.

Martin Hanzal v Mike Richards:

The Coyotes went on to win the Pacific Division.
