The Arizona Coyotes only scored twice tonight against the New York Islanders. We said how great the Islanders were defensively in our game preview, and they proved it last night. Even with a great defense, the Islanders did give up two goals. Michael Grabner managed to get one past Varlamov, and later on, Conor Garland also managed to score.
I would be lying if I said that the Coyotes played good tonight. They looked a step behind throughout most of the contest, and couldn’t find a way to answer. I know we managed to score an empty-net goal and get to within one with a minute left in a game, but when I say answer I mean something else.
