When Klas Dahlbeck opened the scoring for the Arizona Coyotes in the opening minutes of the first, it appeared that the Coyotes were on their way to redeeming themselves after a brutal third period in Nashville.
Instead, the goal was disallowed, and the Coyotes fell apart shortly thereafter, as the team lost 5-1 to the Detroit Red Wings Thursday night at the Joe Louis Arena.
