The 2002–03 Phoenix Coyotes season was their seventh season in the National Hockey League, the franchise's 24th season in the NHL and 31st overall. The Coyotes failed to make the playoffs for the first time since the 2000–01 season.

Offseason

[edit]

Regular season

[edit]
  • January 8, 2003: Chicago Blackhawks goaltender Michael Leighton earned a shutout in his NHL debut in a 0–0 tie against the Phoenix Coyotes. Coyotes goaltender Zac Bierk earned his first career shutout, although it was not his NHL debut. It was the first time that two goaltenders in the same game both earned their first career shutouts.[1]

The Coyotes finished the regular season having allowed the most power-play goals of all 30 NHL teams, with 77.[2]
