Exactly 23 weeks after opening their season with a lopsided win over the Islanders, the Coyotes quest to reach the playoffs for the first time since 200102 officially ended Thursday night.

If Chris Simon plays again for the New York Islanders, or for anyone else in the NHL, it wont be until next season. And it might not even be on opening night.
