Playoffs

On April 8, 2011, the Coyotes clinched their second consecutive Stanley Cup playoff berth with a 4–3 victory over the San Jose Sharks at Jobing.com Arena. It was the first time since the 1999–2000 season that the Coyotes have gone to the post-season two consecutive years. The Coyotes faced the Detroit Red Wings in the first round for the second consecutive year. Just before the start of the playoffs, news started to spread that when the Coyotes were eliminated from the playoffs, that the announcement would be made that the team would be moving to Winnipeg for the next season. The Coyotes players and coaching staff refused to use this distraction as an excuse.[4]
