Thanks to some stellar goalkeeping, the Arizona Coyotes were able to grab 3 of 4 points from the Colorado Avalanche in Colorado.
Goalkeeper Antti Raanta started for the Arizona Coyotes on Wednesday night after replacing injured starter Darcy Kuemper on Monday. It’s good, no great, that he took the ice, because he was the main reason the Yotes left Colorado with any points at all.
Although the Avalanche scored at 1:23 of the first period on a shot from between the circles by an uncovered Brandon Saad, Raanta was in control from there.
