Only a matter of days after defeating the Hurricanes in Carolina, the Coyotes lost to them in Arizona.
Mike Smith found his form in net again, keeping the Coyotes in the contest all night despite once again facing far more than his counterpart on the other side of the ice.
But Arizona’s offense dried up and had it not been for a bit of puck luck, the Coyotes may have found themselves shut out instead of losing to the score of 2 to 1.
Scoring Summary
No scoring in the first period as the Hurricanes out shot the Coyotes 14 to 8.
