A three-day break from practicing could’ve been good or bad for the Arizona Coyotes in their first game back. But the game Tuesday against the Colorado Avalanche wasn’t characterized by rust and instead was a consistent effort with the offense prevailing in a 6-3 win.
The Coyotes (12-16-5) didn’t hesitate to find solid ground in the first period, grabbing a 2-1 lead on goals from Shayne Gostisbehere and Lawson Crouse. From there, the Coyotes scored two goals in each period and took away the momentum from the Avalanche in key moments.
Connor Ingram made 28 saves for the Coyotes, while the Coyotes blocked 17 shots.
