Jason LaBarbera looks like he'll get his first start since Jan. 26 Wednesday night. "The hard part is trying to keep your emotions in check the whole day and not wear yourself out because you are excited and you are anxious and you just want to go out there and play," he said. "But I've felt good in practice the past month. It's just a matter of going out there and doing what you're supposed to do." LaBarbera was the first goalie off the ice in the morning and the Coyotes host St. Louis Thursday, so it would make sense to give Mike Smith the night off.
