2013–14 Phoenix Coyotes season
The 2013–14 Phoenix Coyotes season was the franchise's 35th season in the National Hockey League, the 18th in Arizona and the 42nd overall, including the seasons the franchise played in the World Hockey Association. The Coyotes finished the season situated ninth in the Western Conference, missing the Stanley Cup playoffs for the second consecutive year.
As part of the deal approved by the City of Glendale to keep the team in the desert on July 2, the franchise agreed to change its name from the Phoenix Coyotes to the Arizona Coyotes for the 2014–15 season.
As a result of realignment, this was the first season in which the franchise had the Calgary Flames, Edmonton Oilers and Vancouver Canucks as division rivals since the 1992–93 season, when the team was still known as the Winnipeg Jets and the Pacific Division was called the Smythe Division. During the "top 4 teams in each division in playoffs" era, the Jets had intense rivalries with the Flames, Oilers and Canucks.
Off-season
After years of relocation rumors and speculation, the Coyotes were sold to IceArizona AcquisitionCo., LLC on August 5, 2013, keeping the Coyotes in Glendale, Arizona.Standings
